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
A strong egoism is a protection against disease, but in the last resort we must begin to love in order that we may not fall ill, and must fall ill if, in consequence of frustration, we cannot love.
Sigmund Freud
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
The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions. The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them.
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
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
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
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
A piece of creative writing, like a day-dream, is a continuation of, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood.
Sigmund Freud
In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Sigmund Freud
I think that in general it is a good plan occasionally to bear in mind the fact that people were in the habit of dreaming before there was such a thing as psychoanalysis.
Sigmund Freud
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
Sigmund Freud
In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my dear fellow-men, with a few exceptions, are worthless.
Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
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
We should picture the instrument that carries our mental functioning as resembling a compound microscope or photographic apparatus.
Sigmund Freud
The motive forces of phantasies are unsatisfied wishes, and every single phantasy is the fulfillment of a wish, a correction of unsatisfying reality.
Sigmund Freud
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
I do not doubt that it would be easier for fate to take away your suffering than it would for me. But you will see for yourself that much has been gained if we succeed in turning your hysterical misery into common unhappiness.
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
One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud
