A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.

The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Nothing worse could happen to one than to be completely understood

A human being would certainly not grow to be seventy or eighty years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning.
