More quotes by Sigmund Freud
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.
Sigmund Freud
Without love we fall ill.
Sigmund Freud
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
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 essence of analysis is surprise. When people are themselves surprised by what they say, that's when they are really making some progress.
Sigmund Freud
The reproaches against science for not having yet solved the problems of the universe are exaggerated in an unjust and malicious manner it has truly not had time enough yet for these great achievements. Science is very young--a human activity which developed late.
Sigmund Freud
No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.
Sigmund Freud
We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
Sigmund Freud
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
Sigmund Freud
Another technique for fending off suffering is the employment of the displacements of libido which our mental apparatus permits of and through which its function gains so much in flexibility. The task here is that of shifting the instinctual aims in such a way that they cannot come up against frustration from the external world.
Sigmund Freud
Religion belonged to the infancy of humanity. Now that humanity had come of age, it should be left behind.
Sigmund Freud
Where such men love they have no desire and where they desire they cannot love
Sigmund Freud
Only a rebuke that 'has something in it' will sting, will have the power to stir our feelings, not the other sort, as we know.
Sigmund Freud
The most ancient and important taboo prohibitions are the two basic laws of totemism: not to kill the totem animal and to avoid sexual intercourse with members of the totem clan of the opposite sex.
Sigmund Freud
A strong experience in the present awakens in the creative writer a memory of an earlier experience (usually belonging to his childhood) from which there now proceeds a wish which finds its fulfilment in the creative work.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.
Sigmund Freud
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Concerning the factors of silence, solitude and darkness, we can only say that they are actually elements in the production of the infantile anxiety from which the majority of human beings have never become quite free.
Sigmund Freud
It might be said of psychoanalysis that if you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand.
Sigmund Freud
It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.
Sigmund Freud
