" In general, people are inclined to overestimate
the positive or negative aspects,
or the pleasant or unpleasant tone
of their experiences. In giving an exaggerated
importance to these aspects, they are apt
to cultivate an unjustified self-pity in respect to fate. "

" El lenguaje esta apuntando siempre a algo
que esta mas alla de el mismo. Es siempre autotrascendente.
Al igual que lo es, en general, la existencia humana.
Es algo mas que mera autoexpresion. El ser humano
se dirige hacia algo o hacia alguien distinto de si mismo:
hacia un sentido que cumplir u otro ser humano con el que encontrarse. " -

" Logotherapy cannot become too individualized.
Method must be modified from person to person
and also from situation to situation. " -

" Logotherapy focuses rather on the future,
that is to say, on the meanings
to be fulfilled by the patient in his future . " -

" Sometimes the frustrated will to meaning
is vicariously compensated for by a will to power,
including the most primitive form of
the will to power, the will to money.
In other cases, the place of frustrated
will to meaning is taken by the will to pleasure.
That is why existential frustration often
eventuates in sexual compensation. " -

" The logotherapist's role consists
of widening and broadening
the visual field of the patient
so that the whole spectrum
of potential meaning becomes
conscious and visible to him. " -

" Logotherapy insists that man's main concern
is not to seek pleasure or to avoid pain,
but rather to find a meaning to his life. " -

" Needless to say, the freedom of a finite being
such as man is a freedom within limits.
Man is not free from conditions, be they
biological or psychological or sociological in nature.
But he is, and always remains, free to take
a stand toward these conditions; he always retains
the freedom to choose his attitude toward them. " -
From "Psychotherapy and Existentialism"
@ 2008-12-30 – 18:48:31
" At each moment the human person
is steadily molding and forging
his own character. Thus, every human
being has the chance of changing
at any instant. There is the freedom
to change, and no one should be denied
the right to make use of it. "
