Cynicism Quotes

In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically Picture Quote #1

Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history? Picture Quote #1

When we only name the problem, when we state complaint without a constructive focus or resolution, we take hope away. In this way critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture Picture Quote #1

Maybe a new religion will rise now. Maybe without it, man will crumble in cynicism and selfishness because he really needs his gods Picture Quote #1

Get involved in an issue that you’re passionate about. It almost doesn’t matter what it is... We give too much of our power away, to the professional politicians, to the lobbyists, to cynicism. And our democracy suffers as a result Picture Quote #1

This is our moment... while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can Picture Quote #1

I could never be cynical, not that I think there’s anything wrong with cynicism. I think it can be quite funny at times. But I just feel so grateful to be alive Picture Quote #1

Medical science has oppressed us with a new huge burden of longevity. It is in that last undesired decade, when passion is cold, appetites feeble, curiosity dulled and experience has begotten cynicism, that accidia lies in wait as the final temptation to destruction Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

.. if you asked most people whether they believed in love or not, they’d probably say they didn’t. Yet that’s not necessarily what they truly think. It’s just the way they defend themselves against what they want. They believe in it, but pretend they don’t until they’re allowed to. Most people would throw away all their cynicism if they could. The majority just never gets the chance Picture Quote #1

I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself Picture Quote #1

I realize that idealism is out of sync with the cynicism of our age. Skepticism has come to be synonymous with sophistication, and glibness is mistaken for intelligence. In such an atmosphere, why bother aiming high? Far too many people don’t. I just want to reassure people to have the courage to persevere, to keep following their hearts even when others scoff. Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can ever be ahead of your time with cynicism about that subject. No, I don’t think it was ahead of its time. I think it was very much a product of its time Picture Quote #1

And introduce an element of cynicism and darkness into it and just realize that we’re all vulnerable. We are humans. There is a finite end to this life and we’re all going to face it and a little silliness can help Picture Quote #1

Pasteboard pies and paper flowers are being banished from the stage by the growth of that power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it… Picture Quote #1

Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it’s my least favorite quality. It doesn’t lead anywhere Picture Quote #1

Cynicism did not seem nearly so impressively daring to her now as it had when she was twenty Picture Quote #1

It is lack of confidence, more than anything else, that kills a civilisation. We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs Picture Quote #1

There’s none of this wisecracking and cynicism that you see in... Some of the other cartoons. He’s supposed to be a role model for kids. He cares about other people Picture Quote #1

The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those who don’t have it Picture Quote #1

The greater part of the truth is always hidden, in regions out of the reach of cynicism Picture Quote #1

Cynicism and naivety lie cheek by jowl in the American imagination; if the United States is one of the most venal nations on Earth, it is also one of the most earnestly idealistic Picture Quote #1

I’m riddled with cynicism. Whenever anyone says ‘trust me,’ the hairs go up on the back of my neck Picture Quote #1

There have been times when a particularly heavy dose of such cynicism has caused me to reflect that surely this is the age and place of the gifted pickle sucker Picture Quote #1

Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos Picture Quote #1

But hard bitten cynicism leaves one feeling peevish, and too much of it can do lasting damage to your heart Picture Quote #1

I really like dark music and darkness in general and cynicism and pessimism and negativity because it allows you to create an even bigger contrast Picture Quote #1
