More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
We can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: 1. by doing a deed 2. by experiencing a value and 3. by suffering.
Viktor E. Frankl
Ultimate freedom is a man's right to choose his attitude.
Viktor E. Frankl
Freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast.
Viktor E. Frankl
But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.
Viktor E. Frankl
And I quoted from Nietzsche: That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Viktor E. Frankl
Despair is suffering without meaning.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is always important to have something yet to do in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude toward life. We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
Viktor E. Frankl
There is nothing in the world, I venture to say, that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one's life.
Viktor E. Frankl
Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.
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
[Speaking of his experience in a concentration camp:] As we said before, any attempt to restore a man's inner strength in the camp had first to succeed in showing him some future goal...Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on. He was soon lost.
Viktor E. Frankl
The existential vacuum manifests itself mainly in a state of boredom.
Viktor E. Frankl
Happiness cannot be attained by wanting to be happy - it must come as the unintended consequence of working for a goal greater than oneself.
Viktor E. Frankl
There are only two races, the decent and the indecent.
Viktor E. Frankl
Each man is questioned by life and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life to life he can only respond by being responsible.
Viktor E. Frankl
As for the concept of collective guilt, I personally think that it is totally unjustified to hold one person responsible for the behavior of another person or a collective of persons.
Viktor E. Frankl
Having been is also a kind of being, and perhaps the surest kind.
Viktor E. Frankl
At any moment, man must decide, for better or for worse, what will be the monument of his existence.
Viktor E. Frankl
