Viktor E. Frankl
Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of. And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake.
Viktor E. Frankl
Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.
Viktor E. Frankl
The transitoriness of our existence in now way makes it meaningless. But it does constitute our responsibleness for everything hinges upon our realizing the essentially transitory possibilities.
Viktor E. Frankl
Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
