Sigmund Freud
Image
One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
After all, we did not invent symbolism it is a universal age-old activity of the human imagination.

That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It is not so much that man is a herd animal, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief.
