It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tried not to watch it, but we were shocked.

Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors. He doesn't look down his nose at you, he looks along his nose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hard work has made it easy.

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the husband once give way To his wife's capricious sway,  For his breeches he next day   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51772]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the husband once give way To his wife's capricious sway,  For his breeches he next day   May go to whoop and holloa.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are no better than you should be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27856]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are no better than you should be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful with your words.

This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19533]]></link><description><![CDATA[We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The knight's bones are dust, And his good sword rust;  His soul is with the saints, I trust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57144]]></link><description><![CDATA[The knight's bones are dust, And his good sword rust;  His soul is with the saints, I trust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57144</guid></item></channel></rss>
