And I quoted from Nietzsche: That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Despair is suffering without meaning.
Viktor E. Frankl
