Instead Of Possibilities, I Have Realities In

To Suffer Unecessarily Is Masochistic Rather Than Heroic.

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.

Set Me Like A Seal Upon Thy Heart, Love Is As Strong As Death.

Life Can Be Pulled By Goals Just As Surely As It Can Be Pushed By Drives.

We Had To Learn...that It Did Not Really Matter What We Expected From Life But Rather What Life Expected From Us.
