More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Image
We are so constituted that we can gain intense pleasure only from the contrast, and only very little from the condition itself.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.
Sigmund Freud
Image
This transmissibility of taboo is a reflection of the tendency, on which we have already remarked, for the unconscious instinct in the neurosis to shift constantly along associative paths on to new objects.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The communal life of human beings had . . . a two-fold foundation: the compulsion to work, which was created by external necessity, and the power of love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
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
If children could, if adults knew.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Psychiatry is the art of teaching people how to stand on their own feet while reclining on couches.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It is a mistake to believe that science consists in nothing but conclusively proved propositions, and it is unjust to demand that it should. It is a demand made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form to replace the religious catechism by something else, even a scientific one.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Loneliness and darkness have just robbed me of my valuables.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
History is just new people making old mistakes.
