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

When we are not any lengthier capable to alter a predicament, we're challenged to alter ourselves

As such, I also bear witness to the unexpected extent to which man is capable of defying and braving even the worst conditions conceivable.

A human being is a deciding being.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
