More quotes by Sigmund Freud
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Sigmund Freud
Religious illusion must bow to scientific truth. It is in total error about the nature of the true world. Only science is not an illusion.
Sigmund Freud
We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
Sigmund Freud
In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Sigmund Freud
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud
I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.
Sigmund Freud
But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
Sigmund Freud
Even if all parts of a problem seem to fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, one has to remember that the probable need not necessarily be the truth and the truth not always probable.
Sigmund Freud
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
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
All giving is asking, and all asking is an asking for love.
Sigmund Freud
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.
Sigmund Freud
From error to error one discovers the entire truth.
Sigmund Freud
The inclination to aggression constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.
Sigmund Freud
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
Sigmund Freud
The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization.
Sigmund Freud
When we share - that is poetry in the prose of life.
Sigmund Freud
Indeed, the great Leonardo (da Vinci) remained like a child for the whole of his life in more than one way. It is said that all great men are bound to retain some infantile part. Even as an adult he continued to play, and this was another reason why he often appeared uncanny and incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
Sigmund Freud
Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.
Sigmund Freud
