" There is, indeed, what is called the wisdom of the heart. [...] A phenomenological analysis of the way in which the man in the street, out of the wisdom of the heart, understands himself, may teach us that there is more to being human than being the battleground of the clashing claims of Ego, Id and Superego, [...] and there is more to being human than being a pawn and plaything of conditioning processes or drives and instincts. From the man in the street we may learn that being human means being confronted continuously with situations of which each is at once chance and challenge, giving us a chance to fulfill ourselves by meeting the challenge to fulfill its meaning. Each situation is a call, first, to listen, and then to respond. "

" One may discern and distinguish three chief groups of values [,] creative, experiential, and attitudinal values. This sequence reflects the three principal ways in which man can find meaning in life: first, by what he gives to the world in terms of his creation; second, by what he takes from the world in terms of encounters and experiences; and third, by the stand he takes when faced with a fate which he cannot change. This is why life never ceases to hold meaning, since even a person who is deprived of both creative and experiential values is still challenged by an opportunity for fulfillment, that is, by the meaning inherent in an upright way of suffering.

" [M]an never, or at least not normally and primarily, sees in the partners whom he encounters and in the causes to which he commits himself merely a means to an end; for then he actually would have destroyed any authentic relationship to them. Then, they would have become mere tools, being of use for him, but, by the same token, would have ceased to have any value, that is to say, value in itself. "
