More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
A lady once expressed herself in society - the very words show that they were uttered with fervour and under the pressure of a great many secret emotions: Yes, a woman must be pretty if she is to please the men. A man is much better off. As long as he has five straight limbs, he needs no more!
Sigmund Freud
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.
Sigmund Freud
This transmissibility of taboo is a reflection of the tendency, on which we have already remarked, for the unconscious instinct in the neurosis to shift constantly along associative paths on to new objects.
Sigmund Freud
A love that does not discriminate seems to me to forfeit a part of its own value, by doing an injustice to its object and secondly, not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.
Sigmund Freud
We have long observed that every neurosis has the result, and therefore probably the purpose, of forcing the patient out of real life, of alienating him from actuality.
Sigmund Freud
Adolescent stage in the development of the human race from which humanity should free itself.
Sigmund Freud
Tobacco is the only excuse for Columbus's misadventure in discovering America.
Sigmund Freud
I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.
Sigmund Freud
Desire presses ever forward unsubdued.
Sigmund Freud
Nature delights in making use of the same forms in the most various biological connections: as it does, for instance, in the appearance of branch-like structures both in coral and in plants, and indeed in some forms of crystal and in certain chemical precipitates.
Sigmund Freud
This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud
Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.
Sigmund Freud
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
The study of dreams may be considered the most trustworthy method of investigating deep mental processes. Now dreams occurring in traumatic neuroses have the characteristic of repeatedly bringing the patient back into the situation of his accident, a situation from which he wakes up in another fright.
Sigmund Freud
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Sigmund Freud
A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.
Sigmund Freud
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
