Viktor E. Frankl
It said to me, 'I am here — I am here — I am life, eternal life.'
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
I became acquainted with those martyrs whose behavior in camp, whose suffering and death, bore witness to the fact that the last inner freedom cannot be lost.
Viktor E. Frankl
A man who could not see the end of hisprovisional existence was not able to aim at an ultimate goal in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude especially an attitude of gratitude in a given set of circumstances especially in difficult circumstances.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.
Viktor E. Frankl
If we take a man as he is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be we make him capable of becoming what he can be.
Viktor E. Frankl
The last freedom is choosing your attitude.
Viktor E. Frankl
