She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All marriages are happy.

I think when Judas fled from his hanged and fallen body, he fled to the tender help of Jesus, and found it -- I say not how. He was in a more hopeful condition now than during any moment of his past life, for he had never repented before.

But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started playing a little bit soft, playing some zone.
