Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in its spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.
Viktor E. Frankl
Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.
Viktor E. Frankl
