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
Image
I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
Sigmund Freud
Image

Sigmund Freud
Image
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.

When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
He sido un hombre afortunado en la vida, nada me ha sido facil. I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easy

Image
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Opposition is not necessarily enmity it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The gods retain their threefold task: they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they must reconcile men to the cruelty of Fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they must compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life in common has imposed on them.
Sigmund Freud
Image
All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A love that does not discriminate seems to me to forfeit a part of its own value, by doing an injustice to its object and secondly, not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Neurosis is the result of a conflict between the ego and its id, whereas psychosis is the analogous outcome of a similar disturbance in the relation between the ego and the external world.
