Quote
1963·Kesswil, Switzerland
Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Viktor Frankl·1946There is nothing in the world, I venture to say, that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions, as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one’s life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson·1860The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Jane Goodall·2015In the place where I am now, I look back over my life. I look back at the world I've left behind. What message do I want to leave? I want to make sure that you all understand that each and every one of you has a role to play. You may not know it. You may not find it. But your life matters, and you are here for a reason. And I just hope that that reason will become apparent as you live through your life. I want you to know that, whether or not you find that role that you find that role that you are supposed to play, your life does matter and that every single day you live, you make a difference in the world. And you get to choose the difference that you make.
