If a man knows the wherefore of his existence, then the manner of it can take care of itself.
Viktor E. Franklmisattributed·The Twilight of the Idols, by Friedrich Nietzsche (trans. Anthony M. Ludovici)·1911
Wrongly attributed
Usually quoted as Frankl's own: he who has a why to live can bear almost any how. Frankl never claimed it. He quotes Nietzsche in Man's Search for Meaning, and the line is Nietzsche's, from Twilight of the Idols in 1888. The familiar English wording matches no published translation of the period; Ludovici's 1911 rendering is the one above.
