More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador
Sigmund Freud
I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.
Sigmund Freud
What is common in all these dreams is obvious. They completely satisfy wishes excited during the day which remain unrealized. They are simply and undisguisedly realizations of wishes.
Sigmund Freud
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Sigmund Freud
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
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
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
Sigmund Freud
The sexual life of adult women is a dark continent for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
One is very crazy when in love.
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
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
Sigmund Freud
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.
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
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.
Sigmund Freud
Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise it forces the individual into situations that shame his manhood, obliging him to murder fellow men, against his will.
Sigmund Freud
We should picture the instrument that carries our mental functioning as resembling a compound microscope or photographic apparatus.
Sigmund Freud
Humor is a means of obtaining pleasure in spite of the distressing effects that interface with it.
Sigmund Freud
