One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.
Sigmund Freud
Image
[The child] takes his play very seriously and he expends large amounts of emotion on it. The opposite of play is not what is serious but what is real.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It is a mistake to believe that science consists in nothing but conclusively proved propositions, and it is unjust to demand that it should. It is a demand made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form to replace the religious catechism by something else, even a scientific one.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We find a place for what we lose. Although we know that after such a loss the acute stage of mourning will subside, we also know that we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
I consider it a good rule for letter-writing to leave unmentioned what the recipient already knows, and instead tell him something new.
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.
