More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I take up the standpoint that the tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man, and I come back now to the statement that it constitutes the most powerful obstacle to culture.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Sigmund Freud
Image
One must learn to give up momentary, uncertain and destructive pleasure for delayed, restrained, but dependable pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When we share - that is poetry in the prose of life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Children are completely egoistic they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What decides the purpose of life is simply the programme of the pleasure principle. This principle dominates the operation of the mental apparatus from the start. There can be no doubt about its efficacy, and yet its programme is at loggerheads with the whole world, with the macrocosm as much as with the microcosm.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The moment a man questions the meaning and value of life, he is sick, since objectively neither has any existence by asking this question one is merely admitting to a store of unsatisfied libido to which something else must have happened, a kind of fermentation leading to sadness and depression.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization.
Sigmund Freud
