“Cynically speaking, one could say that it is true to life to be cynical about it. ”

“High above the noise and fear mongering of critics and cynics softly speaks your true self.”

“Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.”

“The cynic sees only cynicism, the depressive can taint creation with one glance”

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”

“Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.”
