More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
I think that in general it is a good plan occasionally to bear in mind the fact that people were in the habit of dreaming before there was such a thing as psychoanalysis.
Sigmund Freud
Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.
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
The dream unites the grossest contradictions, permits impossibilities, sets aside the knowledge that influences us by day, and exposes us as ethically and morally obtuse.
Sigmund Freud
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise it forces the individual into situations that shame his manhood, obliging him to murder fellow men, against his will.
Sigmund Freud
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
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
Psychiatry is the art of teaching people how to stand on their own feet while reclining on couches.
Sigmund Freud
Desire presses ever forward unsubdued.
Sigmund Freud
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.
Sigmund Freud
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
There is to my mind no doubt that the concept of beautiful had its roots in sexual excitation and that its original meaning was sexually stimulating.
Sigmund Freud
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as right in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as brute force.
Sigmund Freud
