Edit Comment Cynicism · posted 2006 by Leonid Sukhorukov

* Cynicism is the ashes of our beliefs.

Edit Comment Minor rewording suggestion · posted Dec '09 by lboggs
The idea is excellent, but in the statement there is a mismatch between the plurality of cynicism and "ashes". Perhaps one of these minor rewordings:

1. Cynicism is the ash of belief.
2. In the ashes of our belief, we find only cynicism

Just a thought.

I found this category to be sorely lacking. As one who tends to be a cynic myself, I was dissapointed at the lack of straightforwardness, cruel truths and blunt. Surely someone has said something more cynical than THAT. Stray beyond the world of those more famous than yourself! Ask those who live the same life as you and be amazed at the cynics in your everyday world. With regrets, Alias

I agree. Yes. I am very cynical. It's mainly altruism isn't it?

Though I don't know what that is lol.

wow your trying way to hard to find/understand cyniscism. cyniscism isn't hating everything, cyniscism is seeing all the bad "truths" in life and loving them.

On the contrary, I very much enjoy this section. Maybe I'm just using "kid wisdom" or something, but I'm always looking for new withering humourous quotes. More often than not, the only way to solve a problem is to do it yourself. Put some of your own cynical comments on here, if you're unsatisfied with what's already on here.
