A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
A man's heterosexuality will not put up with any homosexuality, and vice versa.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There is little that gives children greater pleasure than when a grown-up lets himself down to their level, renounces his oppressive superiority and plays with them as an equal.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If children could, if adults knew.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I no longer count as one of my merits that I always tell the truth as much as possible it has become my metier.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Image
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Cigars served me for precisely fifty years as protection and a weapon in the combat of life... I owe to the cigar a great intensification of my capacity to work and a facilitation of my self-control.
Sigmund Freud
