Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There is little that gives children greater pleasure than when a grown-up lets himself down to their level, renounces his oppressive superiority and plays with them as an equal.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you can't do it, give up!
Sigmund Freud
Image
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Image
Even if all parts of a problem seem to fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, one has to remember that the probable need not necessarily be the truth and the truth not always probable.
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 defense against childish helplessness is what lends its characteristic features to the adult's reaction to the helplessness which he has to acknowledge - a reaction which is precisely the formation of religion.
