More quotes by 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

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

The power of this community is then set up as right in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as brute force.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
Sigmund Freud
Hatred of Judaism is at bottom hatred of Christianity.
Sigmund Freud
If youth knew if age could.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
Sigmund Freud
The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.
Sigmund Freud
Crystals reveal their hidden structures only when broken.
Sigmund Freud
Writers write for fame, wealth, power and the love of women.
Sigmund Freud
A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.
Sigmund Freud
Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
The sexual wishes in regard to the mother become more intense and the father is perceived as an obstacle to the this gives rise to the Oedipus complex.
Sigmund Freud
