Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud

No other technique for the conduct of life attaches the individual so firmly to reality as laying emphasis on work for his work at least gives him a secure place in a portion of reality, in the human community.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim...to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
Sigmund Freud

History is just new people making old mistakes.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
In the development of mankind as a whole, just as in individuals, love alone acts as the civilizing factor in the sense that it brings a change from egoism to altruism.
Sigmund Freud
Image
So in every individual the two trends, one towards personal happiness and the other unity with the rest of humanity, must contend with each other.
Sigmund Freud
Image
This transmissibility of taboo is a reflection of the tendency, on which we have already remarked, for the unconscious instinct in the neurosis to shift constantly along associative paths on to new objects.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
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
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The whole thing [religion] is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life.
Sigmund Freud
