Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

"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."

"I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one."

"Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it."

"Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance."

"What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms."

"Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue."
