It Is The Pursuit Of Happiness That

Man Does Not Simply Exist But Always Decides What His Existence Will Be, What He Will Become The Next Moment. By The Same Token, Every Human Being Has The Freedom To Change At Any Instant.

I Had Wanted Simply To Convey To The Reader By Way Of Concrete Example That Life Holds A Potential Meaning Under Any Conditions, Even The Most Miserable Ones. And I Thought That If The Point Were Demonstrated In A Situation As Extreme As That In A Concentration Camp, My Book Might Gain A Hearing. I Therefore Felt Responsible For Writing Down What I Had Gone Through, For I Thought It Might Be Helpful To People Who Are Prone To Despair.

Man's Search For Meaning Is The Chief Motivation Of His Life.

A Man Who Could Not See The End Of His"provisional Existence" Was Not Able To Aim At An Ultimate Goal In Life.

Decisions, Not Conditions, Determine What A Man Is.
