Jordan Peterson on philosophy

To write something long, sophisticated, and coherent means, at least in part, to become more complex, articulate, and deeper in personality.

There is a high goal, a mountain peak, a star that shines in the darkness, beckoning above the horizon. Its mere existence gives you hope⁠—and that is the meaning without which you cannot live.

If you aim at nothing, you become plagued by everything.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates470–399 BCThe Apology of Socrates (399 BC)

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
