But if our observer had the power and omniscience of the Lord, he would also feel and sense, pulsing through and vibrating from every one of us here below, a desperate and unending plea, "Notice me! I want to be known admired, and loved by the whole world!" And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our illusions that create the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20468]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our illusions that create the world]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, the great ocean hath no tone of power Mightier to reach the soul, in thought's hushed hour,  Than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, the great ocean hath no tone of power Mightier to reach the soul, in thought's hushed hour,  Than yours, ye Lilies! chosen thus and graced!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An espionage organization is a collector: it collects raw information.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For it is truly bizarre for artists to be universally ranked among the giants, for generation after generation . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17401]]></link><description><![CDATA[For it is truly bizarre for artists to be universally ranked among the giants, for generation after generation . . . and then be cast from the highest slopes of Parnassus to the lower slopes of art's ever-growing dust-heap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science investigates religion interprets.
