“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.

Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it.”
