More quotes by Sigmund Freud
If you want to endure life, prepare yourself for death.
Sigmund Freud
Writers write for fame, wealth, power and the love of women.
Sigmund Freud
An overwhelming majority of symbols in dreams are sexual symbols.
Sigmund Freud
There is a powerful force within us, an un-illuminated part of the mind - separate from the conscious mind that is constantly at work molding our thought, feelings, and actions.
Sigmund Freud
I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.
Sigmund Freud
I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.
Sigmund Freud
A transference neurosis corresponds to a conflict between ego and id, a narcissistic neurosis corresponds to that between between ego and super-ego, and a psychosis to that between ego and outer world.
Sigmund Freud
A piece of creative writing, like a day-dream, is a continuation of, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood.
Sigmund Freud
Religious ideas have sprung from the same need as all the other achievements of culture: from the necessity for defending itself against the crushing supremacy of nature.
Sigmund Freud
Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.
Sigmund Freud
That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
Sigmund Freud
Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science.
Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of Creation.' . . . We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast and very little from a state of things.
Sigmund Freud
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
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
Sigmund Freud
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
Sigmund Freud
