Additional quotes by Jordan Peterson

It is because of of Freud, Jung, Nietzsche — and Orwell — that I always wonder, “What, then, do you stand against?” whenever I hear someone say, too loudly, “I stand for this!” The question seems particularly relevant if the same someone is complaining, criticizing, or trying to change someone else’s behaviour.
