Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man is not fully conditioned and determined but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them.
Viktor E. Frankl
It isn't the past which holds us back, it's the future and how we undermine it, today.
Viktor E. Frankl
I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one.
Viktor E. Frankl
The existential vacuum manifests itself mainly in a state of boredom.
