Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself."

Victor Frankl: A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."
