Quote by Jordan B. Peterson

“Almost all learning happens in spite of fear, because to learn something you have to explore something new and that is usually something that is frightening. If you are willing to face something that is frightening, you can garter something of value.”

“From cradle to grave, learning is essential to being human. Not only that, it is a human right. The United Nations views education as “a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights.” When we want to deny someone the full practice of their humanity, withholding learning from them is often a measure we employ.

To deny human learning is to set ourselves up as God, albeit a malevolent version of him.”

“Memory is your museum, your cabinet of curiosities, your 'Wunderkammer.' It will never be full; there is always room for something new and strange and marvelous. It will never need dusting. It will last as long as you do. You can't let the public in to walk around it, but you can take out the exhibits and share them, share what you know. You will never be able to stop collecting.”
