"The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected."
"It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness."
"Being tolerant does not mean that I share another one’s belief. But it does mean that I acknowledge another one’s right to believe, and obey, his own conscience.”
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
"Man does not simply exist, but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.”
“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality.”
“A human being is a deciding being.”
“What is to give light must endure burning.”
“Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.”
“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
“Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.”
“For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment.”
前面看完這本書，買的時候是因爲自己覺得自己有點suffering，一直都在尋找所謂生命的意義，看了之後，發現有點像我在自我認知課程學的道理，有見地，有建設性和有意思，是一本好書。
