Quote

If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
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.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The gods retain their threefold task: they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they must reconcile men to the cruelty of Fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they must compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life in common has imposed on them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The voice of reason is small, but very persistent.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In the development of mankind as a whole, just as in individuals, love alone acts as the civilizing factor in the sense that it brings a change from egoism to altruism.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud
Image
To endure life remains, when all is said, the first duty of all living being Illusion can have no value if it makes this more difficult for us.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religious illusion must bow to scientific truth. It is in total error about the nature of the true world. Only science is not an illusion.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A father's death is the most important event, the more heartbreaking and poignant loss in a man's life.
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
We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.
