More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endless rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points in which one may be optimistic about the future of mankind.
Sigmund Freud
I am not aware, however, that patients suffering from traumatic neurosis are much occupied in their waking lives with memories of their accident. Perhaps they are more concerned with not thinking of it.
Sigmund Freud
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Sigmund Freud
The Mosaic religion had been a Father religion Christianity became a Son religion. The old God, the Father, took second place Christ, the Son, stood in His stead, just as in those dark times every son had longed to do.
Sigmund Freud
Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
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
No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
Sigmund Freud
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud
A father's death is the most important event, the more heartbreaking and poignant loss in a man's life.
Sigmund Freud
Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
If youth knew if age could.
Sigmund Freud
There is an intellectual function in us which demands unity, connection and intelligibility from any material, whether of perception or thought, that comes within its grasp and if, as a result of special circumstances, it is unable to establish a true connection, it does not hesitate to fabricate a false one.
Sigmund Freud
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Sigmund Freud
We find a place for what we lose. Although we know that after such a loss the acute stage of mourning will subside, we also know that we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.
Sigmund Freud
When a man has once brought himself to accept uncritically all the absurdities that religious doctrines put before him and even to overlook the contradictions between them, we need not be greatly suprised at the weakness of his intellect.
Sigmund Freud
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
