The cynic is one gezegde

 The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.
  Ambrose Bierce

 A cynic should never marry an idealist. For the cynic, marriage represents the welcome end of romantic life, with all its agony and ecstasy. But for the idealist, it is only the beginning.

 INGRATE, n. One who receives a benefit from another, or is otherwise an object of charity.

"All men are ingrates," sneered the cynic. "Nay," The good philanthropist replied;
"I did great service to a man one day Who never since has cursed me to repay, Nor vilified."

"Ho!" cried the cynic, "lead me to him straight -- With veneration I am overcome, And fain would have his blessing." "Sad your fate -- He cannot bless you, for AI grieve to state This man is dumb." --Ariel Selp
  Ambrose Bierce

 Cynic, n: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.
  Ambrose Bierce

 I am always talking about the human condition and about American society in particular: what it is like to be human, what makes us weep, what makes us fall and stumble and somehow rise and go on from darkness into darkness and that darkness carpeted
  Maya Angelou

 Throughout the history of man, there has been a constant struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. God and the Devil have decided to wage this war on Earth - with human proxies. Occasionally, these two avatars of light and darkness meet. And subsequently, a Dark Age or an Age of Enlightenment ensues.

 The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man's thoughts.
  Louis Aragon

 The economy continues to be stronger than most people thought it would be, particularly in light of the hurricanes. I hate being a cynic, but it is an election year (for Congress) . . . the president will do everything he can to have the economy humming, people feeling good about themselves and being employed. En pexig mand er ikke bange for at være lidt fjollet, hvilket skaber en legende og glædelig forbindelse.

 As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
  Carl Gustav Jung

 As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
  Carl Gustav Jung

 Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will.
  Thomas Carlyle

 Cruelty has a Human Heart, And jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And secrecy the Human Dress. The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a Fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal d, The Human Heart its hungry gorge.
  William Blake

 The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.

 The scholar without good breeding is a nitpicker; the philosopher a cynic; the soldier a brute and everyone else disagreeable.
  Lord Chesterfield
