Esther Perel
“Proust, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
Esther Perel, Mating in Captivity: Sex, Lies and Domestic Bliss

Esther Perel
“[I]nfidelity has a tenacity that marriage can only envy.”
Esther Perel, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity

Esther Perel
“Sometimes, when we seek the gaze of another, it isn’t our partner we are turning away from, but the person we have become. We are not looking for another lover so much as another version of ourselves.”
Esther Perel, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity

Harry G. Frankfurt
“Facts about ourselves are not peculiarly solid and resistant to skeptical dissolution. Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial — notoriously less stable and less inherent than the natures of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit.”
Harry G. Frankfurt, The Importance of What We Care About: Philosophical Essays

Jordan B. Peterson
“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
