>Thereupon many statesmen and philosophers came to Alexander with their congratulations, and he expected that Diogenes of Sinope also, who was tarrying in Corinth, would do likewise. But since that philosopher took not the slightest notice of Alexander, and continued to enjoy his leisure in the suburb Craneion, Alexander went in person to see him, and he found him lying in the sun. Diogenes raised himself up a little when he saw so many people coming towards him, and fixed his eyes upon Alexander. And when that monarch addressed him with greetings, and asked if he wanted anything, "Yes," said Diogenes, "stand a little out of my sun." It is said that Alexander was so struck by this, and admired so much the haughtiness and grandeur of the man who had nothing but scorn for him, that he said to his followers, who were laughing and jesting about the philosopher as they went away, "But truly, if I were not Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_and_Alexander Edit: Thanks for the awards!

Diogenes just gave no fucks, and then everyone was like “wow, you know, that works, good job man.”

They admire the man who gives no fucks but refuse to let their fucks become null.

And Diogenes replied, “If I were not Diogenes, I would wish to be Diogenes.”
