Man's Search for Meaning Quotes

“When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.”

“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.”
