~cynic shrine

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
that quote by H. L. Mencken change my life. So, I made this shrine to collect any form of cynical phrases from everywhere I can find and hopefully it would turn to be a dictionary someday.


Charisma. The force by which a person may be inexcusably rude without earning any harsh remarks.
from a fic by Libek titled Exposure (with a slight variation).

Pity. A useless emotion. It helps no one and the one who receives it feels no better about it.  
 from a fic by Hic Iacet Mori titled Yours for an Hour (with a slight variation).

Prince and Princess. Royalty who has a right reserved to be routinely locked in towers.
from a fic by Vermillion Lies titled Just Like Magic! (with a slight variation).

 Sarcasm. A watered-down way to say a word as to not offend others.
