Christmas is the alcoholidays
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
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.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We choose not randomly each other. We meet only those who already exists in our subconscious.
Sigmund Freud

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Sigmund Freud
Image

Sigmund Freud
Image
The dream unites the grossest contradictions, permits impossibilities, sets aside the knowledge that influences us by day, and exposes us as ethically and morally obtuse.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to taking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It could be ventured to understand obsessive compulsive neurosis as the pathological counterpart of religious development, to define neurosis as an individual religiosity to define religion as a universal obsessive compulsive neurosis.
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
The dream acts as a safety-valve for the over-burdened brain.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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.

The sexual life of adult women is a dark continent for psychology.
