More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Sexual morality - as society in its extreme form, the American, defines it - is contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.
Sigmund Freud
Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
The moment a man questions the meaning and value of life, he is sick, since objectively neither has any existence by asking this question one is merely admitting to a store of unsatisfied libido to which something else must have happened, a kind of fermentation leading to sadness and depression.
Sigmund Freud
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
Sigmund Freud
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
Sigmund Freud
The communal life of human beings had . . . a two-fold foundation: the compulsion to work, which was created by external necessity, and the power of love.
Sigmund Freud
Two hallmarks of a healthy life are the abilities to love and to work. Each requires imagination.
Sigmund Freud
The Irish are the one race for which psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever... because they already live in a dream world.
Sigmund Freud
History is just new people making old mistakes.
Sigmund Freud
Indeed, the great Leonardo (da Vinci) remained like a child for the whole of his life in more than one way. It is said that all great men are bound to retain some infantile part. Even as an adult he continued to play, and this was another reason why he often appeared uncanny and incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
Sigmund Freud
Anxiety in children is originally nothing other than an expression of the fact they are feeling the loss of the person they love.
Sigmund Freud
We are so constituted that we can gain intense pleasure only from the contrast, and only very little from the condition itself.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
Sigmund Freud
It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness.
Sigmund Freud
No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
Sigmund Freud
But the repressed merges into the id as well, and is merely a part of it. The repressed is only cut off sharply from the ego by the resistances of repression it can communicate with the ego through the id.
Sigmund Freud
In the development of mankind as a whole, just as in individuals, love alone acts as the civilizing factor in the sense that it brings a change from egoism to altruism.
Sigmund Freud
We know less about the sexual life of little girls than of boys. But we need not feel ashamed of this distinction after all, the sexual life of adult women is a 'dark continent' for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.
Sigmund Freud
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
