Viktor E. Frankl
Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary.
Viktor E. Frankl
In his creative work the artist is dependent on sources and resources deriving from the spiritual unconscious.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be
Viktor E. Frankl
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.

Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality
Viktor E. Frankl
There is also purpose in life which is almost barren of both creation and enjoyment and which admits of but one possibility of high moral behavior: namely, in man's attitude to his existence, an existence restricted by external forces.
Viktor E. Frankl
Logotherapy . . . considers man as a being whose main concern consists in fulfilling a meaning and in actualizing values, rather than in the mere gratification and satisfaction of drives and instincts.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run- in the long run, I say! - success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.
Viktor E. Frankl
Here lies the chance for a man either to make use of or to forgo the opportunities of attaining the moral values that a difficult situation may afford him. And this decides whether he is worthy of his sufferings or not.
Viktor E. Frankl
When a man cannot find meaning, he numbs himself with pleasure.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is well known that humor, more than anything else in the human make-up, can afford an aloofness and an ability to rise above any situation, even if only for a few seconds.
Viktor E. Frankl
Even though conditions such as lack of sleep, insufficient food and various mental stresses may suggest that the inmates were bound to react in certain ways, in the final analysis it becomes clear that the sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision, and not the result of camp influences alone.
Viktor E. Frankl
Happiness cannot be pursued it must ensue.
Viktor E. Frankl
Self-actualization cannot be attained if it is made an end in itself, but only as a side effect of self-transcendence.
Viktor E. Frankl
Such a value system might be responsible for the fact that the burden of unavoidable unhappiness is increased by unhappiness about being unhappy.
Viktor E. Frankl
Sunday neurosis, that kind of depression which afflicts people who become aware of the lack of content in their lives when the rush of the busy week is over and the void within themselves becomes manifest.
Viktor E. Frankl
Ironically enough, in the same way that fear brings to pass what one is afraid of, likewise a forced intention makes impossible what one forcibly wishes... Pleasure is, and must remain, a side-effect or by-product, and is destroyed and spoiled to the degree to which it is made a goal in itself.
Viktor E. Frankl
