| | Cynics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | Cynics seem to have survived into the third century CE; two of Julian’s orations from 361 CE disparage the Cynics of his day for lacking the asceticism and hardiness of “real” Cynics. | | | The Cynics had no set space where they met and discoursed, such as the Garden, the Lyceum, or the Academy; for Diogenes and Crates, the streets of Athens provide the setting for both their teaching and their training. | | | The Cynics believe that it is through nature that one can live well and not through conventional means such as etiquette or religion. |

| | Michel Foucault, Parrhesiasts - Diogenes, The Cynic Philosophers and their techniques |
| | But now in the Cynic tradition, the main references for the philosophy are not to the texts or doctrines, but to exemplary lives. | | | Personal examples were also important in other philosophical schools, but in the Cynic movement – where there were no established texts, no settled, recognizable doctrine – reference was always made to certain real or mythical personalities who were taken to be the sources of Cynicism as a mode of life. | | | In the case of the Epicurean communities, we know very little about their style of life but have some idea of their doctrine as it is expressed in various texts. |

| | But, if we, as Christians simply fret and cry and whine about our situations when they are difficult in a worldly sense, then when/if things turned around, the world would see no hand of God, for no faith in God was displayed that God might reward for His glory. | | | Because the Cynic regularly uses the word at the beginning of a sentence, I'm not sure if he understands the difference. | | | Kerry is the King of Nuance; it's just too bad that you have to have some charisma to pull off that kind of double-talk. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cynic School of Philosophy |
| | The Cynic School, founded at Athens about 400 B.C., continued in existence until about 200 B.C. It sprang from the ethical doctrine of Socrates regarding the necessity of moderation and self-denial. | | | According to some authorities, however, the name Cynic arose from the fact that the first representatives of the school were accustomed to meet in the gymnasium of Cynosarges. | | | The Cynic contempt for the refinements and conventions of polite society is generally given as the reason for the name dogs (kúnes) by which the first representatives of the school were known. |

| | THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - CYNIC - Focus |
| | CYNIC was a band which, as many technical Death Metal-devotees like myself know, changed the face of an entire genre of music in the course of one album. | | | There are those who would say that combining Death Metal, Jazz/Fusion, New Age, Thrash and Electronica into one "sound" would be impossible to do without sounding pretentious and overambitious. | | | I can only say that such people remain the unfortunate ones in this case, as the music CYNIC brings to life on "Focus" is as intensely involving and FOCUSED as one can imagine. |
