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

Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

A man's concern, even his despair, over the worthwhileness of life is an existential distress but by no means a mental disease.

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features.

Either belief in God is unconditional or it is no belief at all.

Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in its 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.
