Image
It is a mistake to believe that science consists in nothing but conclusively proved propositions, and it is unjust to demand that it should. It is a demand made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form to replace the religious catechism by something else, even a scientific one.
Sigmund Freud
Image
All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The gods retain their threefold task: they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they must reconcile men to the cruelty of Fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they must compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life in common has imposed on them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Sexual morality - as society in its extreme form, the American, defines it - is contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
Image
So in every individual the two trends, one towards personal happiness and the other unity with the rest of humanity, must contend with each other.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I am not aware, however, that patients suffering from traumatic neurosis are much occupied in their waking lives with memories of their accident. Perhaps they are more concerned with not thinking of it.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image

Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a rebuke that 'has something in it' will sting, will have the power to stir our feelings, not the other sort, as we know.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Just as a satisfaction of instinct spells happiness for us, so severe suffering is caused us if the external world lets us starve, if it refuses to sate our needs. One may therefore hope to be freed from a part of one's sufferings by influencing the instinctual impulses.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The reproaches against science for not having yet solved the problems of the universe are exaggerated in an unjust and malicious manner it has truly not had time enough yet for these great achievements. Science is very young--a human activity which developed late.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The dream acts as a safety-valve for the over-burdened brain.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Psychiatry is the art of teaching people how to stand on their own feet while reclining on couches.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Men have gained control over the forces of nature to such an extent that with their help they would have no difficulty exterminating one another to the last man. They know this, and hence comes a large part of their current unrest, their unhappiness and their mood of anxiety.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise it forces the individual into situations that shame his manhood, obliging him to murder fellow men, against his will.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
