A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."

  • -- Viktor Emil Frankl 维克多·埃米尔·弗兰克尔

一个人如果意识到自己对一个深情地等待着他的人所承担的责任,或者意识到自己对一项尚未完成的工作所承担的责任,他就永远不能抛弃自己的生命。他知道他的存在的“为什么”,并将能够忍受几乎任何“如何”。
