In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We look at sites like You-Tube and, for that matter, a multitude of other online options as just that ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32681]]></link><description><![CDATA[We look at sites like You-Tube and, for that matter, a multitude of other online options as just that ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â new options that we look to embrace.

The intellectual heritage of the race belongs to the minority, and to the minority only. The majority has no more to do with it than it has to do with ecclesiastic politics on Mars. In so far as that heritage is apprehended, it is viewed with enmity. But in the main it is not apprehended at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without an element of the obscene there can be no true and deep aesthetic or moral conception of life...It is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without an element of the obscene there can be no true and deep aesthetic or moral conception of life...It is only the great men who are truly obscene.
