Quote

Cynicism is tough. A cynic's point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I'm fairly healthy, it's hard to stay dismal for very long.

Don't give in to cynicism. It is a toxic spiritual state.

One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.

Perhaps the biggest myth about cynicism is that it deepens with age. I think what really happens is that experience painfully rips away layers of scales from our eyes, and so we do indeed become more cynical about many of the things we naively accepted when younger.

The cure for cynicism is simply to engage honestly.

I think I hate cynicism more than anything else. It's the curse of our age, and I want to avoid it at all costs.

Cynicism is the easiest of all reactions, right? But it's also so disappointing and self-defeating.

The cynicism that you have is not your real soul.
