What is Diogenes of Sinope known for?
I am known for living as a dog does, with utter simplicity and without regard for societal pretense. You see me in my tub, not a palace, because true wealth is not in possessions but in freedom from them. I bark at fools and expose the absurdity of their customs, for virtue lies in living according to nature, not the whims of men. My life is my philosophy, a constant demonstration against the corruptions of the city.
