„Life is suffering.Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated.Truth is the handmaiden of love.Dialogue is the pathway to truth.Humility is recognition of personal insufficiency and the willingness to learn.To learn is to die voluntarily and be born again, in great ways and small.So speech must be untrammeled, so that dialogue can take place,so that we can all humbly learn,so that truth can serve love,so that suffering can be ameliorated,so that we can all stumble forward to the Kingdom of God.“
— Jordan Peterson
„We live in the false as long as we have not suffered. But when we begin to suffer, we enter the truth only to regret the false.“
