Quick quotes

    A man’s suffering is similar to the behaviour of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size” of human suffering is absolutely relative.

    emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.

    he who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

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. In other words, it will try to anwer this question: How was everyday life in a concentration camp reflected in the mind of the average prisoner?

    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. That someone lay in another part of the Auschwitz camp, possibly only a few hundred or a thousand yards away, and yet completely out of reach. That someone was my wife.
