More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
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
Obsessional prohibitions are extremely liable to displacement. They extend from one object to another along whatever paths the context may provide, and this new object then becomes, to use the apt expression of one of my women patients, 'impossible' - till at last the whole world lies under an embargo of 'impossibility'.
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
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
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
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
Image
After all, we did not invent symbolism it is a universal age-old activity of the human imagination.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Adolescent stage in the development of the human race from which humanity should free itself.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The voice of reason is small, but very persistent.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Two hallmarks of a healthy life are the abilities to love and to work. Each requires imagination.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my dear fellow-men, with a few exceptions, are worthless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Creativity is an attempt to resolve a conflict generated by unexpressed biological impulses, such that unfulfilled desires are the driving force of the imagination, and they fuel our dreams and daydreams.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
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
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Thinking in pictures is, therefore, only a very incomplete form of becoming conscious. In some way, too, it stands nearer to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and it is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically.
