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

Our attitude towards what has happened to us in life is the important thing to recognize. Once hopeless, my life is now hope-full, but it did not happen overnight. The last of human freedoms, to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, is to choose one's own way.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life.

But my mind clung to my wife's image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look then was more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise.

Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.

Man's last freedom is his freedom to choose how he will react in any given situation

It isn't the past which holds us back, it's the future; and how we undermine it, today.
