(What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.) Not only our experiences, but all we have done, whatever great thoughts we may have… - Viktor Frankl

" "

(What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.) Not only our experiences, but all we have done, whatever great thoughts we may have had, and all we have suffered, all this is not lost, though it is past; we have brought it into being. Having been is also a kind of being, and perhaps the surest kind.

About Viktor Frankl

Viktor Emil Frankl, M.D., Ph.D. (26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist and a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of existential analysis, the "Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy". His best-selling book Man's Search for Meaning chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate which led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus, a reason to continue living. Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.

Additional quotes by Viktor Frankl

At such a moment, it is not the physical pain which hurts the most (and this applies to adults as much as to punished children); it is the mental agony caused by the injustice, the unreasonableness of it all.

"ينبغي ألا يسأل الانسان عن معنى حياته وانما على الفرد أن يدرك أنه هو الذي يوجه السؤال اليه. وباختصار, فان كل انسان يجري سؤاله بواسطة الحياة نفسها, وأنه لا يستطيع أن يجيب الا الى الحياة وذلك عن طريق الاجابة في حياته ذاتها, فهو يستطيع أن يستجيب الى الحياة عن طريق الافصاح عن مسؤوليته والتعبير عنها. وهكذا فان العلاج بالمعنى يرى في "الالتزام بالمسؤولية" الجوهر الحقيقي للوجود الانساني."
