Sigmund Freud
Image
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The essence of analysis is surprise. When people are themselves surprised by what they say, that's when they are really making some progress.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The three major mother gods of the Eastern populations seemed to be generating and destroying entities at the same time both goddesses of life and fertility as well as goddesses of death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A love that does not discriminate seems to me to forfeit a part of its own value, by doing an injustice to its object and secondly, not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Opposition is not necessarily enmity it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
Sigmund Freud
