""Tatsächlich ist die Freiheit die halbe Wahrheit. Freisein ist der negative Aspekt eines Phänomens, dessen positiver Aspekt Verantwortlichsein heißt. Freiheit schlägt in Willkür um, wenn sie nicht im Sinne von Verantwortlichkeit gelebt wird. Und das ist auch der Grund, warum ich dafür zu plädieren pflege, daß der Freiheitsstatue an der Ostküste das Pendant errichtet werde, nämlich eine der Verantwortlichkeit an der Westküste." Frankl, V. E. (1979). Der Mensch vor der Frage nach dem Sinn. (n.p.): Piper, S. 64"
