I came across this sentence by Laura Kipnis in the “Raben-Kalender” (the tear-off calendar on my desk in the office and at home on the wall in my kitchen) published by “Zweitausendeins” (“2001” in German) [link in German].
This sentence got translated back from German to English by Google Translate and a little polished by me. I would love to replace it by an original quotation.
The skeptical view of the world preserves the ideals of sincerity rather than to destroy them.
Cynics are disappointed romantics and ironists secret sentimentals.
