The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. – Henry Ward Beecher
It happens as one sees in cages: the birds who are outside despair of ever getting in, and those within are equally desirous of getting out – Michel de Montaigne
