The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
Children are completely egoistic they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.

Sigmund Freud
Image
A poor girl may have an illusion that a prince will come and fetch her home. It is possible, some such cases have occurred. That the Messiah will come and found a golden age is much less probable.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If children could, if adults knew.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I do not doubt that it would be easier for fate to take away your suffering than it would for me. But you will see for yourself that much has been gained if we succeed in turning your hysterical misery into common unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Without love we fall ill.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
