Quick quotes

    This tale is not concerned with the great horrors, which have already been described often enough(though less often believed), but with the multitude of small torments.

    At that moment I saw the plain truth and did what marked the culminating point of the first phase of my psychological reaction: I struck out my whole former life...

    Suddenly there was a silence and into the night a violin sang a desperately sad tango, an unusual tune not spoiled by frequent playing. The violin wept and a part of me wept with it, for on that same day someone had a twenty-fourth birthday.

The book is a profound and effective read, offering a roadmap for navigating tough times and finding meaning in suffering.

Quick quotes

    They must not lose hope but should keep their courage in the certainty that the hopelessness of our struggle did not detract from its dignity and its meaning.

    Frankl offers readers who are searching for answers to life’s dilemmas a critical mandate: he does not tell people what to do, but why they must do it.

    What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task.
