Sigmund Freud
Adolescent stage in the development of the human race from which humanity should free itself.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
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

Sigmund Freud
