Victor Frankl Famous Quotes



The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes.

"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances - to choose one's own way."

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality.
