Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality

Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

When a man finds that it is his destiny to suffer, he will have to accept his suffering as his task; his single and unique task. He will have to acknowledge the fact that even in suffering he is unique and alone in the universe. No one can relieve him of his suffering or suffer in his place. His unique opportunity lies in the way in which he bears his burden.

When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
