Viktor Frankl, Quotes, Man’s Search for Meaning

March 26, 1905 Viktor Frankl

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the ‘why’ for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any ‘how.’ Viktor E. Frankl

 

As Viktor Frankl, Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, wrote in “Man’s Search for Meaning,” “Those who have a ‘why’ to live can bear with almost any ‘how.’” For generations, our countrymen celebrated many of the same values that we do today. When we connect with tradition, we begin to think of the past and future as united, which gives meaning to life and allows us to transcend present frustrations.
