The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6266]]></link><description><![CDATA[My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens to a dream deferred?
