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

I do the unpleasant tasks before I do the pleasant ones.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life.

There are some authors who contend that meanings and values are 'nothing but defense mechanisms, reaction formations and sublimations.' But as for myself, I would not be willing to live merely for the sake of my 'defense mechanisms,' nor would I be ready to die merely for the sake of my 'reaction formations.

Man's search for meaning is the chief motivation of his life.

The meaning of my life is to help others find meaning in theirs.

If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.

. . . nothing could touch the strength of my love, and the thoughts of my beloved. Had I known then that my wife was dead, I think that I still would have given myself, undisturbed by that knowledge, to the contemplation of that image, and that my mental conversation with her would have been just as vivid and just as satisfying. 'Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as death.'

Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.

And I quoted from Nietzsche: That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.

It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

Despair is suffering without meaning.

Viktor Emil Frankl 16 quotes

I would say that our patients ...

I would say that our patients never really despair because of any suffering in itself! Instead, their despair stems in each instance from a doubt as to whether suffering is meaningful. Man is ready and willing to shoulder any suffering as soon and as long as he can see a meaning in it.

It is true that we can see the therapist as a technician only if we have first viewed the patient as some sort of machine.

Viktor Emil Frankl 16 quotes

These tasks, and therefore the...

These tasks, and therefore the meaning of life, differ from man to man, and from moment to moment. Thus it is impossible to define the meaning in life in a general way.

Life requires of man spiritual elasticity, so that he may temper his efforts to the chances that are offered.

Ultimate freedom is a man's right to choose his attitude.

In a last violent protest against the hopelessness of imminent death, I sensed my spirit piercing through the enveloping gloom. I felt it transcend that hopeless, meaningless world, and from somewhere I heard a victorious 'Yes' in answer to my question of the existence of an ultimate purpose. At that moment a light was lit in a distant farmhouse, which stood on the horizon as if painted there, in the midst of the miserable gray of a dawning morning in Bavaria. 'Et lux in tenebris lucet'-and the light shineth in the dar
