Viktor E. Frankl
Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
The salvation of man is through love and in love.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself.
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
It is this spiritual freedom - which cannot be taken away - that makes life meaningful and purposeful.
Viktor E. Frankl
