Image
Thinking in pictures is, therefore, only a very incomplete form of becoming conscious. In some way, too, it stands nearer to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and it is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
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
The goal of all life is death
Sigmund Freud
Image
Not all men are worthy of love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions. The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them.
Sigmund Freud

An overwhelming majority of symbols in dreams are sexual symbols.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A poor girl may have an illusion that a prince will come and fetch her home. It is possible, some such cases have occurred. That the Messiah will come and found a golden age is much less probable.
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
In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The moment a man questions the meaning and value of life, he is sick, since objectively neither has any existence by asking this question one is merely admitting to a store of unsatisfied libido to which something else must have happened, a kind of fermentation leading to sadness and depression.
Sigmund Freud

If children could, if adults knew.
