“For too long we have been dreaming a dream from which we are now waking up: the dream that if we just improve the socioeconomic situation of people, everything will be okay, people will become happy. The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for. ... The truth is that man does not live by welfare alone.”
― Victor Frankl

“Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!”
― Victor Frankl

“The hunt for happiness frightens the object away; the pursuit of happiness borders upon a self-contradiction”
― Victor Frankl

“don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. for success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by - product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it”
