He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.

More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
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 must reckon with the possibility that something in the nature of the sexual instinct itself is unfavorable to the realization of complete satisfaction.
Sigmund Freud
Not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
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
Religion belonged to the infancy of humanity. Now that humanity had come of age, it should be left behind.
Sigmund Freud
Instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it, and if a person feels they can't control the object or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it.
Sigmund Freud
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Sigmund Freud
A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.
Sigmund Freud
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Thinking in pictures is, therefore, only a very incomplete form of becoming conscious. In some way, too, it stands nearer to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and it is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically.
Sigmund Freud
Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to taking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young.
Sigmund Freud
The defense against childish helplessness is what lends its characteristic features to the adult's reaction to the helplessness which he has to acknowledge - a reaction which is precisely the formation of religion.
Sigmund Freud
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
all the categories which we employ to describe conscious mental acts, such as ideas, purposes, resolutions, and so on, can be applied tothese latent states.
Sigmund Freud
I like to avoid concessions to faint-heartedness. One can never tell where that road may lead one one gives way first in words, and then little by little in substance too.
Sigmund Freud
The rest of our enquiry is made easy because this God-Creator is openly called Father. Psycho-analysis concludes that he really is the father, clothed in the grandeur in which he once appeared to the small child.
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
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
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of Creation.' . . . We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast and very little from a state of things.
Sigmund Freud
