Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.

Most men in a concentration camp believed that the real opportunities of life had passed. Yet, in reality, there was an opportunity and a challenge. One could make a victory of those experiences, turning life into an inner triumph, or one could ignore the challenge and simply vegetate, as did a majority of the prisoners.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.

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

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

It said to me, 'I am here — I am here — I am life, eternal life.'

Man is not fully conditioned and determined but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them.
