Sigmund Freud
Image

The reproaches against science for not having yet solved the problems of the universe are exaggerated in an unjust and malicious manner it has truly not had time enough yet for these great achievements. Science is very young--a human activity which developed late.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We may say that hysteria is a caricature of an artistic creation, a compulsion neurosis a caricature of a religion, and a paranoiac delusion a caricature of a philosophic system.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The defense against childish helplessness is what lends its characteristic features to the adult's reaction to the helplessness which he has to acknowledge - a reaction which is precisely the formation of religion.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.

If you want to endure life, prepare yourself for death.
