More Quotes by Viktor Frankl
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.
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.
The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing
Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life—daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. 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.
Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.
This is the core of the human spirit ... If we can find something to live for - if we can find some meaning to put at the center of our lives - even the worst kind of suffering becomes bearable.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!
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.
