These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I actually ran the world, I'd do it from the kitchen.
