More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Only a rebuke that 'has something in it' will sting, will have the power to stir our feelings, not the other sort, as we know.
Sigmund Freud
When we share - that is poetry in the prose of life.
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
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.
Sigmund Freud
The facts which have caused us to believe in the dominance of the pleasure principle in mental life also find expression in the hypothesis that the mental apparatus endeavours to keep the quantity of excitation present in it as low as possible or at least to keep it constant.
Sigmund Freud
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endless rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points in which one may be optimistic about the future of mankind.
Sigmund Freud
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Sigmund Freud
If children could, if adults knew.
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
The true believer is in a high degree protected against the danger of certain neurotic afflictions by accepting the universal neurosis he is spared the task of forming a personal neurosis.
Sigmund Freud
One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud
It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.
Sigmund Freud
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
Thinking in pictures is, therefore, only a very incomplete form of becoming conscious. In some way, too, it stands nearer to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and it is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically.
Sigmund Freud
One thing only do I know for certain and that is that man's judgments of value follow directly his wishes for happiness-that, accordingly, they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments. [p.111]
Sigmund Freud
It is easy to see that the ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world.
Sigmund Freud
dream is the dreamer's own psychical act.
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
