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

When a man cannot find meaning, he numbs himself with pleasure.

It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.

Fear may come true that which one is afraid of.

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."

The struggle for existence is a struggle 'for' something; it is purposeful and only in so being is it meaningful and able to bring meaning into life.

A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.
