Image
No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
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.
Sigmund Freud
Image
History is just new people making old mistakes.
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
It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When we share - that is poetry in the prose of life.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image

Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
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
We have long observed that every neurosis has the result, and therefore probably the purpose, of forcing the patient out of real life, of alienating him from actuality.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A hero is a man who stands up manfully against his father and in the end victoriously overcomes him.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What decides the purpose of life is simply the programme of the pleasure principle. This principle dominates the operation of the mental apparatus from the start. There can be no doubt about its efficacy, and yet its programme is at loggerheads with the whole world, with the macrocosm as much as with the microcosm.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The madman is a dreamer awake
Sigmund Freud
Image
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.
