Viktor Frankl quotes

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms, to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.

There is nothing in the world, I venture to say, that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions, as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one's life.

Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked.
