Viktor Frankl
(1905-1997)
psychiatrist,
author,
Holocaust survivor:
We who lived in concentration camps
can remember the men who walked
through the huts comforting others,
giving away their last piece of bread.
They may have been few in number,
but they offer sufficient proof that
everything can be taken from a man
but one thing:
the last of the human freedoms –
to choose one’s attitude
in any given set
of circumstances,
to choose one’s own way.
