Attempting to communicate the lessons, perspective, and wisdom this book offers is very difficult without simply re-writing those passages.
I've learned this after going through my own copy, and referencing my highlighted sections which I thought were particularly useful.
Here are some of those key sentences, along with the corresponding pages, that I will refer back to in the years to come:
Page 87
"Talking yourself into irrelevance is not a profound critique of Being.
It's a cheap trick of the rational mind."
Page 107
"Faith is not the childish belief in magic. That is ignorance or even willful blindness."
Page 127
"Old age and treachery can always overcome youth and skill."
Page 141
"Every gingerbread house has a witch inside it that devours children."
Page 158
"The wisdom of the past was hard-earned, and your dead ancestors may have something useful to tell you."
Powerful words, all of them.
The next post will begin with my favorite quote from legendary psychoanalyst Carl Jung; a quote that was included in Jordan Peterson's book on Page 180.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Thank you for reading.
