Sigmund Freud
In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my dear fellow-men, with a few exceptions, are worthless.
Sigmund Freud
Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.
Sigmund Freud
There is an intellectual function in us which demands unity, connection and intelligibility from any material, whether of perception or thought, that comes within its grasp and if, as a result of special circumstances, it is unable to establish a true connection, it does not hesitate to fabricate a false one.
Sigmund Freud
Religion [is] the universal obsessional neurosis of humanity
Sigmund Freud
Religious ideas have sprung from the same need as all the other achievements of culture: from the necessity for defending itself against the crushing supremacy of nature.
Sigmund Freud
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

Sigmund Freud
The inclination to aggression constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.
Sigmund Freud
It almost looks like analysis were the third of those 'impossible' professions in which one can be quite sure of unsatisfying results. The other two, much older-established, are the bringing up of children and the government of nations.
Sigmund Freud
All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.
Sigmund Freud
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
Sigmund Freud
The idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.
