More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
Humanity is in the highest degree irrational, so that there is no prospect of influencing it by reasonable arguments. Against prejudice one can do nothing.
Sigmund Freud
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
Sigmund Freud
Cigars served me for precisely fifty years as protection and a weapon in the combat of life... I owe to the cigar a great intensification of my capacity to work and a facilitation of my self-control.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
Sigmund Freud
Sexual morality - as society in its extreme form, the American, defines it - is contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
Sigmund Freud
No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
Sigmund Freud
I have never doubted that religious phenomena are only to be understood on the pattern of the individual neurotic symptoms familiar to us.
Sigmund Freud
The madman is a dreamer awake
Sigmund Freud
But the less a man knows about the past and the present the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.
Sigmund Freud
Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites.
Sigmund Freud
It is easy to see that the ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world.
Sigmund Freud
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Sigmund Freud
