Sigmund Freud
We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
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.

Sigmund Freud
Psychiatry is the art of teaching people how to stand on their own feet while reclining on couches.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
A lady once expressed herself in society - the very words show that they were uttered with fervour and under the pressure of a great many secret emotions: Yes, a woman must be pretty if she is to please the men. A man is much better off. As long as he has five straight limbs, he needs no more!
Sigmund Freud
