More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Religion [is] the universal obsessional neurosis of humanity

Sigmund Freud
In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
Sigmund Freud
The sexual life of adult women is a dark continent for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
Religious ideas have sprung from the same need as all the other achievements of culture: from the necessity for defending itself against the crushing supremacy of nature.
Sigmund Freud
The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.
Sigmund Freud
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Sigmund Freud
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
Sigmund Freud
The madman is a dreamer awake
Sigmund Freud
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Sigmund Freud
Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.
Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
Sigmund Freud
No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.
Sigmund Freud
Toward the person who has died we adopt a special attitude: something like admiration for someone who has accomplished a very difficult task.
Sigmund Freud
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
After all, we did not invent symbolism it is a universal age-old activity of the human imagination.
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
