More quotes by 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
The individual does actually carry on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a chain, in which he serves against, or at any rate without, any volition of his own.
Sigmund Freud
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
Sigmund Freud
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
The goal of all life is death
Sigmund Freud
Religious illusion must bow to scientific truth. It is in total error about the nature of the true world. Only science is not an illusion.
Sigmund Freud
Where such men love they have no desire and where they desire they cannot love
Sigmund Freud
We know less about the sexual life of little girls than of boys. But we need not feel ashamed of this distinction after all, the sexual life of adult women is a 'dark continent' for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
Sigmund Freud
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Christmas is the alcoholidays
