“Em última análise, torna-se claro que o tipo de pessoa em que o prisioneiro se transformava era o resultado de uma decisão interior, e não o resultado só das influências do campo de concentração. Portanto, fundamentalmente, qualquer ser humano, mesmo sob tais circunstâncias, pode decidir o que vai ser dele - mentalmente e espiritualmente.”

“O ser humano não é completamente condicionado e definido. Ele define a si próprio seja cedendo às circunstâncias, seja se insurgindo diante delas. Em outras palavras, o ser humano é, essencialmente, dotado de livre-arbítrio. Ele não existe simplesmente, mas sempre decide como será sua existência, o que ele se tornará no momento seguinte.”
