Sigmund Freud
Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.
Sigmund Freud
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud
I no longer count as one of my merits that I always tell the truth as much as possible it has become my metier.
Sigmund Freud
We must reckon with the possibility that something in the nature of the sexual instinct itself is unfavorable to the realization of complete satisfaction.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.
Sigmund Freud
You can always make a lot of people love one another so long as there are a smaller number outside the group for them to kick.
Sigmund Freud
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
Sigmund Freud
One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud
We may say that hysteria is a caricature of an artistic creation, a compulsion neurosis a caricature of a religion, and a paranoiac delusion a caricature of a philosophic system.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
Sigmund Freud
