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.

The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Image
A man's heterosexuality will not put up with any homosexuality, and vice versa.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the end death seems less intolerable than the manifold burdens we carry
Sigmund Freud
Image
I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.
Sigmund Freud
Image
This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
