Though the lack of development was one of the greatest assets for Lost - we didn't have time to second-guess what we were doing and sanitise it into a more middle-ground story.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeepeer, doorkeeper, all in one, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeepeer, doorkeeper, all in one, and audience into the bargain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I contemplate the interposition of Providence, as it was visibly manifested, in guiding us through the Revolution, in preparing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51910]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I contemplate the interposition of Providence, as it was visibly manifested, in guiding us through the Revolution, in preparing us for the reception of a general government, and in conciliating the good will of the People of America towards one]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that there is always a limit to self-indulgence, but none to self-restraint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that there is always a limit to self-indulgence, but none to self-restraint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy shoes shall be of iron and brass: and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy shoes shall be of iron and brass: and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47534]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you raise the bar for children, they not only reach it, they far surpass it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31203]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you raise the bar for children, they not only reach it, they far surpass it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow;  Sweet voices mysteriously wailing   Pierce ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58451]]></link><description><![CDATA[And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow;  Sweet voices mysteriously wailing   Pierce through me as onward they go.    They sail along, and a ringing     Sweet melody rises on high;      And when the swans begin singing,       They presently must die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sofas 'twas half a sin to sit upon, So costly were they;

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
