Viktor E. Frankl

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
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
A human being is a deciding being.
Viktor E. Frankl
The one thing you can't take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is always important to have something yet to do 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.
