More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Nature delights in making use of the same forms in the most various biological connections: as it does, for instance, in the appearance of branch-like structures both in coral and in plants, and indeed in some forms of crystal and in certain chemical precipitates.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The only unnatural sexual behavior is none at all.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
It might be said of psychoanalysis that if you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it, and if a person feels they can't control the object or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
No neurotic harbors thoughts of suicide which are not murderous impulses against others redirected upon himself.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The voice of reason is small, but very persistent.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a rebuke that 'has something in it' will sting, will have the power to stir our feelings, not the other sort, as we know.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The moment a man questions the meaning and value of life, he is sick, since objectively neither has any existence by asking this question one is merely admitting to a store of unsatisfied libido to which something else must have happened, a kind of fermentation leading to sadness and depression.
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
