Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality
Viktor E. Frankl
Man's inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.

Viktor E. Frankl
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.
Viktor E. Frankl
