It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

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

To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.

Human kindness can be found in all groups, even those which as a whole it would be easy to condemn.

View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn't

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

Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.
