“We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation-just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer-we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“That books do not take the place of experience, and that learning is no substitute for genius, are two kindred phenomena; their common ground is that the abstract can never take the place of the perceptive.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“As nothing is straighter than that which is straight, so nothing is juster than that which is just.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it.”
De Profundis • Oscar Wilde
