Sigmund Freud
Image
No neurotic harbors thoughts of suicide which are not murderous impulses against others redirected upon himself.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The facts which have caused us to believe in the dominance of the pleasure principle in mental life also find expression in the hypothesis that the mental apparatus endeavours to keep the quantity of excitation present in it as low as possible or at least to keep it constant.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychoanalysis of neurotics has taught us to recognize the intimate connection between wetting the bed and the character trait of ambition.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A man's heterosexuality will not put up with any homosexuality, and vice versa.
Sigmund Freud
Image
He sido un hombre afortunado en la vida, nada me ha sido facil. I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easy
Sigmund Freud
Image
Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
