Viktor E. Frankl
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
But my mind clung to my wife's image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look then was more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise.
Viktor E. Frankl
A human being is a deciding being.
Viktor E. Frankl
A man who could not see the end of hisprovisional existence was not able to aim at an ultimate goal in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
We had to learn...that it did not really matter what we expected from life but rather what life expected from us.
