Despair is suffering without meaning.

As for the concept of collective guilt, I personally think that it is totally unjustified to hold one person responsible for the behavior of another person or a collective of persons.

Success is total self-acceptance.

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.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

The more one forgets one’s own self, the more human the person becomes.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.
