About This Quote
The author, Victor Frankl, is a psychiatrist who wrote about the "titanic differences" that exist between all human beings. In his book Man's Search for Meaning , he writes: "The individual can find meaning only if he is able to view himself as unique, as the one and only living being which is capable of freely choosing. And if a man can realize his uniqueness, he will also realize at the same time that he cannot find meaning in a world which is indifferent to him."
