 quote:While living in Athens, it is said that he resided in a large ceramic jar on the outskirts of the marketplace. He made a career out of begging and lying about; all while surviving on a steady diet of discarded onions. During the day, he wandered the streets with a lantern because he was “looking for an honest man”.  quote:When scolded for masturbating in public, he said "I wish it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly." quote:Diogenes stood outside a brothel, shouting, "A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A beautiful whore . . . ". Men entering the house threw him a coin or two to shut him up. Eventually Diogenes had collected enough money and he too went into the brothel.  quote:To the question what wine he found pleasant to drink, he replied, "That for which other people pay." quote:Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture-room with the words, "Behold Plato's man!" quote:The city was under seige. Everyone was busy fortifying the walls - some were carrying stones, others were patching the walls, yet others were building battlements. Diogenes, not wanting to appear idle while everyone around him was working so frantically, diligently rolled his barrel back and forth along the battlements. The city fell.

maybe some seneca he was good at short, pithy quips but people talked poo poo about him for being a stoic + the richest man in the roman empire and possibly a huge hypocrite but who knows.... quote:It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. quote:Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long. quote:Our lack of confidence is not the result of difficulty. The difficulty comes from our lack of confidence. quote:Death is a release from and an end of all pains: beyond it our sufferings cannot extend: it restores us to the peaceful rest in which we lay before we were born. If anyone pities the dead, he ought also to pity those who have not been born. Death is neither a good nor a bad thing, for that alone which is something can be a good or a bad thing: but that which is nothing, and reduces all things to nothing, does not hand us over to either fortune, because good and bad require some material to work upon. Fortune cannot take ahold of that which Nature has let go, nor can a man be unhappy if he is nothing. nero made him commit suicide in the end and as i recall he slashed his wrists and was in agony for hours but didn't die so he got his servants to put him in a steamroom and keep adding more and more hot steam till he eventually shuffled off.

JebanyPedal posted:Did he ever poo poo himself and go "WHHOOO WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!!" there is a story about him getting up on stage in a packed theatre during a play and dropping a big steaming poo poo centre stage lol his whole thing was that 90% ofthe stuff ppl do is pointless and makes them unhappy and he tried to illustrate it with direct actions so i guess he was taking a poo poo on stage to be like "yo you may as well be watching this for all the good its doing u" i like to imagine that everywhere diogenes went ppl were like "oh jfc here comes diogenes whats this fucker up to today" communism bitch fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Dec 3, 2014 |

He destroyed the single wooden bowl he possessed on seeing a peasant boy drink from the hollow of his hands. He then exclaimed," Fool that I am, to have been carrying superfluous baggage all this time!"
