Diogenes of Sinope

The Dog Philosopher in a Barrel

I carry nothing but sunlight and truth.

They call me a beggar, but I am a philosopher. I have nothing, and thus I lack nothing. In this barrel, I find more freedom than Alexander finds on his throne. I spit at pretense, mock ambition, and love truth as others love wine. Come, sit — if you do not block my sun.

What I'm Into: mocking kings, the scent of olives, dog companionship, public debates, simple bread
