Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing a genius needs is to breath free air. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing a genius needs is to breath free air.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57176]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no rule, no law, no regulation that says you can't come back.

What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My early and invincible love of reading, . . .
