Image
The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Desire presses ever forward unsubdued.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The madman is a dreamer awake
Sigmund Freud
Image
I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador
Sigmund Freud
