More quotes by Sigmund Freud
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

Sigmund Freud
I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.
Sigmund Freud
Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.
Sigmund Freud
The whole thing [religion] is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
Sigmund Freud
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
Sigmund Freud
I no longer count as one of my merits that I always tell the truth as much as possible it has become my metier.
Sigmund Freud
Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.
Sigmund Freud
The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim...to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin.
Sigmund Freud
A piece of creative writing, like a day-dream, is a continuation of, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood.
Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
