Zitat des Tages über Zyniker / Cynics:
I think we have to believe we are here for some purpose, and I know there are many cynics who will deny it, but they don't live as if they deny it.
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.
The cynics are right nine times out of ten.
I'm one of those old cynics that thinks, whoever you vote for, the government always gets in.

If there's one thing that makes me cynical, it's optimists. They are just far too cynical about cynicism. If only they could see that cynics can be happy, constructive, even fun to hang out with, they might learn a thing or two.
Cynics will say there are no good people out there. And if you read the papers and watch TV news you could be convinced of that. But there are good people.
I do like dating cynics - they tend to be incredibly funny.
Sometime between when the Summer of Love ended and the Summer of Sam began, America became a nation of cynics about love.
