If The Essence Of Cynicism Consists In Preferring Nature To Art, Virtue To Beauty And Science; In Not Bothering About The Letter Of Things -- To Which The Stoic Strictly Adheres -- But In Looking Up To The Spirit Of Things; In Absolute Contempt Of All Economic Values And Political Splendor, And In Courageous Defence Of The Rights Of Independent Freedom; Then Christianity Would Be Nothing But Universal Cynicism.
