Cynical Quote by Sergei Lukyanenko
““Preserve the part of you that's still human. Avoid falling into ecstatic raptures and trying to impose the Light on people when they don't want it. Avoid relapsing into contemptuous cynicism and imagining that you are pure and perfect. That's the hardest thing of all--never to become cynical, never to lose faith, never to become indifferent. -Gesar””
