More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
One thing only do I know for certain and that is that man's judgments of value follow directly his wishes for happiness-that, accordingly, they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments. [p.111]
Sigmund Freud
Image
In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites.
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
We choose not randomly each other. We meet only those who already exists in our subconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We have become convinced that it is better to avoid such symbolic disguisings of the truth in what we tell children and not to withhold from them a knowledge of the true state of affairs commensurate with their intellectual level.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A strong experience in the present awakens in the creative writer a memory of an earlier experience (usually belonging to his childhood) from which there now proceeds a wish which finds its fulfilment in the creative work.
Sigmund Freud
Image
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of Creation.' . . . We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast and very little from a state of things.
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
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
Image
An overwhelming majority of symbols in dreams are sexual symbols.
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
There is an intellectual function in us which demands unity, connection and intelligibility from any material, whether of perception or thought, that comes within its grasp and if, as a result of special circumstances, it is unable to establish a true connection, it does not hesitate to fabricate a false one.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Do you not know how uncontrolled and unreliable the average human being is in all that concerns sexual life?
Sigmund Freud
Image
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
Sigmund Freud
Image
All giving is asking, and all asking is an asking for love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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.
