In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.

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.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Those who know how close the connection is between the state of mind of a man-his courage and hope, or lack of them-and the state of immunity of his body will understand that the sudden loss of hope and courage can have a deadly effect. The ultimate cause of my friend's death was that the expected liberation did not come and he was severely disappointed.

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

A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining. What he becomes-within the limits of endowment and environment-he has made out of himself.
