The rest of our enquiry is made easy because this God-Creator is openly called Father. Psycho-analysis concludes that he really is the father, clothed in the grandeur in which he once appeared to the small child.

More quotes by Sigmund Freud
In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis.
Sigmund Freud
The Mosaic religion had been a Father religion Christianity became a Son religion. The old God, the Father, took second place Christ, the Son, stood in His stead, just as in those dark times every son had longed to do.
Sigmund Freud
It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endless rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points in which one may be optimistic about the future of mankind.
Sigmund Freud
The Irish are the one race for which psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever... because they already live in a dream world.
Sigmund Freud
A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud
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
It might be said of psychoanalysis that if you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand.
Sigmund Freud
It is unavoidable that if we learn more about a great man's life, we shall also hear of occasions on which he has done no better than we, and has in fact come nearer to us as a human being.
Sigmund Freud
The religions of mankind must be classed among the mass-delusions of this kind. No one, needless to say, who shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such.
Sigmund Freud
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
Sigmund Freud
The defense against childish helplessness is what lends its characteristic features to the adult's reaction to the helplessness which he has to acknowledge - a reaction which is precisely the formation of religion.
Sigmund Freud
The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.
Sigmund Freud
I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Cigars served me for precisely fifty years as protection and a weapon in the combat of life... I owe to the cigar a great intensification of my capacity to work and a facilitation of my self-control.
Sigmund Freud
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
Sigmund Freud
In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Sigmund Freud
When one does not have what one wants, one must want what one has.
Sigmund Freud
