“He thought about the loss of humanity that was eating away at the world and the loss of the connection to the self that ate away at the consciousness which animated all into being. He thought about how the collective psyche was teetering on that knife’s edge between a desperation to live and a desperation to die. And here he was at the cusp of it himself.”
Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

Jordan B. Peterson
“Međutim, sama tragedija (shvaćena kao proizvoljna grubost društva i prirode, nasuprot ranjivosti pojedinca) nije jedini - možda čak ni prvenstveni - izvor patnje. Treba uzeti u obzir i problem zla. Svijet je čvrsto protiv nas, to je sigurno, ali čovjekova nehumanost prema čovjeku nešto je još gore.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
