In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion-, and even nation-centred cultures.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I happen to be a big fan of Western civilization; I think it beats the hell out of tyranny and starvation.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The book, '12 Rules For Life,' is a very serious book. There's elements of humor in it, but I'm trying to struggle with things at the deepest possible level and to explain to people why it's necessary to live a upstanding and noble and moral and truthful and responsible life, and why there's hell to pay if you don't do that.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Life is very difficult. One of the most ancient of religious ideas that emerges everywhere, I would say, is that life is essentially suffering.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The most propagandistic element of 'Frozen' was the transformation of the prince at the beginning of the story, who was a perfectly good guy, into a villain with no character development whatsoever about three-quarters of the way to the ending.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I could hardly sit through 'Frozen.' There was an attempt to craft a moral message and to build the story around that, instead of building the story and letting the moral message emerge. It was the subjugation of art to propaganda, in my estimation.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You can think of the entire Internet as a place where ideas embodied in cyberspace are having a war, and it's not much different than the war of gods in heaven, which has been taking place since there's been human beings.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Kathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that's being pushed in a manner in schools that's completely reprehensible. It's not education, in my estimation. It's a form of indoctrination.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
If the standard transsexual person wants to be regarded as he or she, my sense is I'll address you according to the part that you appear to be playing.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The narrow bandwidth of TV has made us think that we are stupider than we are.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I like to recede away from classifications. You might say that indicates a fundamental lack of commitment. I suppose that's true to some degree.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I've 20,000 hours of clinical practice; you're not naive after the first few thousand. I've helped people deal with things that most people can't imagine.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Whether or not I like a piece of data has very little bearing on whether or not I am likely to accept it.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I've known for years that the university underserved the community, because we assumed that university education is for 18- to 22-year-olds, which is a proposition that's so absurd it is absolutely mind-boggling that anyone ever conceptualized it. Why wouldn't you take university courses throughout your entire life?
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, 'No.'
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I suppose for a very long time I've been trying to understand how it is that people might make sense out of their lives and make meaning and make their lives meaningful in the face of the trouble that life brings.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I'm a practical person. I'm not too bad a carpenter. I can renovate houses.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It isn't generally the case that liberals dominate entire hierarchies. That isn't generally how it works, because the hierarchies are usually set up so that conservatives fill up the hierarchies; it's in the nature of hierarchy.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It's not just human nature to associate in tribes. It's deeper than that.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The right-wingers don't want to admit that for some people, there are no jobs; they think that conscientiousness in and of itself will do the trick.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I have something in common with Nazis in that I am opposed to the radical Left. And when you oppose the radical Left, you end up being a part of a much larger group that includes Nazis in it.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Our physiological constitution is obviously a product of Darwinian processes, insofar as you buy the evolutional theory as a generative, as an account of the mechanism that generated us. Our physiology evolved, our behaviors evolved, and our accounts of those behaviors, both successful and unsuccessful, evolved.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The multiplication force of technology on cognitive differences is massive.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I think Canadians are more interested in international events than Americans because it is such a small country, so politics affect it more.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I've done some analysis of the biblical stories as part of my psychological work. I knew that I had more to do, and every time I've done it, it's been extremely valuable. It makes me a better teacher because I have a richer understanding of cultural history.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The literature associating inequality with social instability and poor health outcomes is pretty convincing.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Some of these Ivy League kids want to have it both ways. They want to be baby members of the 1 percent, which they most certainly are, and yet still portray themselves as the oppressed.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Even the structure of the atom has been found by the mind. Therefore the mind is subtler than the atom. That which is behind the mind, namely the individual soul, is subtler than the mind.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
If one watches whence the notion 'I' arises, the mind gets absorbed there; that is tapas. When a mantra is repeated, if one watches whence that mantra sound arises, the mind gets absorbed there; that is tapas.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
To ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
In truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
The Sage has no thinking mind and therefore there are no ‘others’ for him.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
