What Is To Give Light Must Endure

What Is Demanded Of Man Is Not, As Some Existential Philosophers Teach, To Endure The Meaninglessness Of Life, But Rather To Bear His Incapacity To Grasp Its Unconditional Meaningfulness In Rational Terms.

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.

I Understood How A Man Who Has Nothing Left In This World Still May Know Bliss, Be It Only For A Brief Moment, In The Contemplation Of His Beloved.

Success Is Total Self-acceptance.

The Meaning Of Our Existence Is Not Invented By Ourselves, But Rather Detected.
