“Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life. Frankl saw three possible sources for meaning: in work (doing something significant), in love (caring for another person), and in courage during difficult times.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“We are all just a car crash,
a diagnosis,
an unexpected phone call,
a newfound love,
or a broken heart away
from becoming a completely different person.
How beautifully fragile are we
that so many things
can take but a moment
to alter who we are
forever?
— Samuel Decker Thompson”

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have … enough.”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs most is more people who have come alive.”
