cynicism springs from disappointments in love.

With the right kind of touch, sour apples turn sweet again.

Cynicism is like a cancer of the spirit.

You can't think away your self-defeating thoughts; you have to dissolve them through action.

One shouldn't be labelled a cynic just because one refuses to believe in fairy tales.

Better outright despair than a cheap cynicism.

The cynic sees a void, the poet sees everything that fills it.

People grow bitter and cynical about life because they can't bend it to their will.

One cannot be too cynical about love.
