I think cynicism is the worst thing because it kills everything. There's no more honesty, no more poetry, no more freshness. Cynicism is the worst thing - a kind of smart person who's got all the answers. This is death. It kills creation. There's no love, no tenderness, nothing at all left. There's no hatred even, nothing. Equally dangerous is the detached attitude that says, "Everything is fun!”. (Henri Cartier-Bresson)
