Quote by Viktor E. Frankl

“There are two races of men in this world, but only these two–the 'race' of the decent man and the 'race' of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.”

“I now realized this woman was livid with anger. Not the sort that suddenly hits you then drains away. No. This woman, I could tell had been in a kind of white heat for sometime. It’s a sort of anger that arrives and then stays put at a constant level like a bad headache never quite peaking and refusing to find a proper outlet.”

“There's no such things as picking a side between right and wrong. Human mind is great, And in all it's glory, it can go not just both ways, But everywhere it wants to go. Right and wrong is just the road to take you. You have a foot on one path, And the second on the other, And you ride along, deciding at each steps, Where you're gonna put your weight. The landscape surrounding... Is where the great human mind can go. What is surrounding you? A forest, or a desert?”

“. . . the more I love mankind in general, the less I love people in particular, that is, individually, as separate persons. In my dreams . . . I often went so far as to think passionately of serving mankind . . . and yet, I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for even two days . . . As soon as someone is there, close to me, his personality oppresses my self-esteem and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I can begin to hate even the best of men: one because he takes too long eating his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps blowing his nose. I become the enemy of people the moment they touch me . . . On the other hand, it has always happened that the more I hate people individually, the more ardent becomes my love for humanity as a whole.”
