Viktor E. Frankl
The transitoriness of our existence in now way makes it meaningless. But it does constitute our responsibleness for everything hinges upon our realizing the essentially transitory possibilities.
Viktor E. Frankl
This is the core of the human spirit ... If we can find something to live for - if we can find some meaning to put at the center of our lives - even the worst kind of suffering becomes bearable.
Viktor E. Frankl
There are some authors who contend that meanings and values are nothing but defense mechanisms, reaction formations and sublimations. But as for myself, I would not be willing to live merely for the sake of my defense mechanisms, nor would I be ready to die merely for the sake of my reaction formations.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
It is this spiritual freedom - which cannot be taken away - that makes life meaningful and purposeful.
Viktor E. Frankl
For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
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
It is the pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness.
Viktor E. Frankl
And I quoted from Nietzsche: That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is always important to have something yet to do in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
We dislike talking about our experiences. No explanations are needed for those who have been inside, and the others will understand neither how we felt then nor how we feel now.
Viktor E. Frankl
The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing
