This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence of the cessation of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ankle was going toward the left and my foot was going toward the right.
