I consider it a good rule for letter-writing to leave unmentioned what the recipient already knows, and instead tell him something new.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Another technique for fending off suffering is the employment of the displacements of libido which our mental apparatus permits of and through which its function gains so much in flexibility.

The study of dreams may be considered the most trustworthy method of investigating deep mental processes.

Sigmund Freud
Image
Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It might be said of psychoanalysis that if you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We must reckon with the possibility that something in the nature of the sexual instinct itself is unfavorable to the realization of complete satisfaction.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
