More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
Desire presses ever forward unsubdued.
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
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
Image
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
Image
From error to error one discovers the entire truth.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Adolescent stage in the development of the human race from which humanity should free itself.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The facts which have caused us to believe in the dominance of the pleasure principle in mental life also find expression in the hypothesis that the mental apparatus endeavours to keep the quantity of excitation present in it as low as possible or at least to keep it constant.
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
The individual does actually carry on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a chain, in which he serves against, or at any rate without, any volition of his own.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We have become convinced that it is better to avoid such symbolic disguisings of the truth in what we tell children and not to withhold from them a knowledge of the true state of affairs commensurate with their intellectual level.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There is to my mind no doubt that the concept of beautiful had its roots in sexual excitation and that its original meaning was sexually stimulating.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Smoking is indispensable if one has nothing to kiss.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We know less about the sexual life of little girls than of boys. But we need not feel ashamed of this distinction after all, the sexual life of adult women is a 'dark continent' for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Just as a satisfaction of instinct spells happiness for us, so severe suffering is caused us if the external world lets us starve, if it refuses to sate our needs. One may therefore hope to be freed from a part of one's sufferings by influencing the instinctual impulses.
Sigmund Freud
Image
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
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.
Sigmund Freud
