“What is called self-actualization is not an attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more he would miss it. In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side-effect of self-transcendence.”

— Viktor Frankl

Viktor Frankl

"In the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act."
