Image
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
Sigmund Freud
Image
One thing only do I know for certain and that is that man's judgments of value follow directly his wishes for happiness-that, accordingly, they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments. [p.111]
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It is a predisposition of human nature to consider an unpleasant idea untrue, and then it is easy to find arguments against it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud

The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.
Sigmund Freud
Image
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of Creation.' . . . We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast and very little from a state of things.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
Image

The task here is that of shifting the instinctual aims in such a way that they cannot come up against frustration from the external world.
Sigmund Freud
Image
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If youth knew if age could.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Toward the person who has died we adopt a special attitude: something like admiration for someone who has accomplished a very difficult task.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I am not aware, however, that patients suffering from traumatic neurosis are much occupied in their waking lives with memories of their accident. Perhaps they are more concerned with not thinking of it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you can't do it, give up!
Sigmund Freud
Image
A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There are no mistakes.
