More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
Sigmund Freud
It is not so much that man is a herd animal, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief.
Sigmund Freud
We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
Sigmund Freud
Not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
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
