Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing.

Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58892]]></link><description><![CDATA[But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sanguine hope through every storm of life, Shoots her bright beams, and calms the internal strife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51854]]></link><description><![CDATA[And sanguine hope through every storm of life, Shoots her bright beams, and calms the internal strife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not easy being green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21564]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not easy being green.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than anything I have ever done; it is a far, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11410]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than anything I have ever done; it is a far, far, better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a precious gift.
