More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Children are completely egoistic they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Sigmund Freud
We know that the great majority of people have a strong need for authority which it can admire, to which it can submit, and which dominates and sometimes even ill-treats it.
Sigmund Freud
I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
Sigmund Freud
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
Sigmund Freud
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.
Sigmund Freud
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Sigmund Freud
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
A father's death is the most important event, the more heartbreaking and poignant loss in a man's life.
Sigmund Freud
The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.
Sigmund Freud
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
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
Tobacco is the only excuse for Columbus's misadventure in discovering America.
Sigmund Freud
When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.
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
The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.
Sigmund Freud
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Another technique for fending off suffering is the employment of the displacements of libido which our mental apparatus permits of and through which its function gains so much in flexibility. The task here is that of shifting the instinctual aims in such a way that they cannot come up against frustration from the external world.
Sigmund Freud
What decides the purpose of life is simply the programme of the pleasure principle. This principle dominates the operation of the mental apparatus from the start. There can be no doubt about its efficacy, and yet its programme is at loggerheads with the whole world, with the macrocosm as much as with the microcosm.
Sigmund Freud
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
