It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spirit of liberty is the spirit that is not too sure that it is right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24729]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spirit of liberty is the spirit that is not too sure that it is right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66398]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go play golf.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leavesInterlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlightTo divide us forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32117]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leavesInterlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlightTo divide us forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None of this was true.

Increasingly I rejoiced in the Gospel -- the amazing Good News -- that the Creator of what to us human beings is this bewildering and unimaginably vast universe, so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Everlasting life, I came to see, is not just continued existence, but a growing knowledge -- not merely intellectual but wondering through trust, love, and fellowship -- of Him who alone is truly God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
