Answer:
“The crash had left Louie and Phil in the most desperate physical extremity, without food, water, or shelter. But on Kwajalein, the guards sought to deprive them of something that had sustained them even as all else had been lost: dignity. This self-respect and sense of self-worth, the innermost armament of the soul, lies at the heart of humanness.”
Explanation:
This quotation is found in Chapter 18, the first chapter of Part Four. Louie and Phil are being held in cells on Kwajalein, a few days after they had been captured at sea. Their minds and bodies have survived a record 47 days lost at sea, but their suffering is not over. In fact, it has entered a new chapter. In this new part of the book, their physical difficulties have been compounded. Now Japanese guards begin to abuse them, initiating an intentional process of trying to break Louie and Phil. This process will continue long after Kwajalein, as Louie is moved from one POW camp to the next. At this point it is new to him.

This type of question is really personal. Since I don't know if you have a religion or belief, I will answer with my general knowledge and experience. Feel free to change and adapt this answer to make it fit you.
Answer and Explanation:
Even though I do not see organized religion as something good for me, I do understand the benefits it brings to people in general. Institutions are always flawed, no matter how sacred and lofty the beliefs they preach. However, those institutions offer support and structure to people who enjoy the sense of belonging to a community of like-minded individuals.
At a personal level, I do not see the need to travel to a temple or to memorize prayers and chants. I see myself - body, mind and soul - as a sanctuary. By simply taking a moment, be it minutes or hours, to focus on something without any specific goal, simply for the sake of clearing my mind, I can find peace. I believe human beings are a manifestation of the very universe we observe. We are the universe being aware of itself and its other manifestations. Therefore, I believe we can find, in silence and peace, a sense of self that exacerbates all self-centeredness.
Peace comes from the acceptance of what is. It comes from beholding my own existence, as well as the existence of everything else, as sacred. In this thought, I find love for myself and for the world.
