More quotes by Sigmund Freud
All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.
Sigmund Freud
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
I do not doubt that it would be easier for fate to take away your suffering than it would for me. But you will see for yourself that much has been gained if we succeed in turning your hysterical misery into common unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
The dream unites the grossest contradictions, permits impossibilities, sets aside the knowledge that influences us by day, and exposes us as ethically and morally obtuse.
Sigmund Freud
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
Sigmund Freud
Even if all parts of a problem seem to fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, one has to remember that the probable need not necessarily be the truth and the truth not always probable.
Sigmund Freud
A piece of creative writing, like a day-dream, is a continuation of, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood.
Sigmund Freud
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Sigmund Freud
Anxiety in children is originally nothing other than an expression of the fact they are feeling the loss of the person they love.
Sigmund Freud
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science.
Sigmund Freud
Instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it, and if a person feels they can't control the object or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it.
Sigmund Freud
The sexual life of adult women is a dark continent for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
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
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
Hatred of Judaism is at bottom hatred of Christianity.
Sigmund Freud
A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.
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
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
