“The meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day, from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. To put the question in general terms would be to the question posed to a chess champion: "Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?" There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one's opponent. The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.
As each situation in life represents a challenge to man and presents a problem for him to solve, the question of the meaning of life may actually be reversed. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”

“ان التسليم لله هو الطريقه الانسانيه الوحيده للخروج من ظروف الحياه المأساويه التى لا حل لها ولا معنى ,انه طريق للخروج بدون تمرد ولا قنوط ولا عدمية ولا انتحار.
انه شعور بطولى (لا شعور بطل) ,بل شعور انسان عادى قام باداء واجبه وتقبل قدره.”

“أقام الغربيون ضروبًا من المصانع من بيع وأديار ومتاحف ومكاتب ومدارس
وجسور وسدود وطرق ومعابر وتماثيل ونصب وبرك، لكنهم لم يصنعوا على كثرة
ً تفننهم في هذا الشأن منذ عهد اليونان والرومان، طرزا من البناء يكلمك ولا لسان له
فيقول، وينظر إليك فيعمل في شغاف قلبك ولا عين له فتنظر، ويطربك بتساوق نغماته
من دون ما صناجة ولا وتر ولا ألحان”

“We don’t need anything. Just listen to us and try to understand. Society is good at doing things, ‘giving’ medical help, pensions, flats. But all this so-called giving has been paid for in very expensive currency. Our blood.”
