Sigmund Freud
Image
Two hallmarks of a healthy life are the abilities to love and to work. Each requires imagination.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise it forces the individual into situations that shame his manhood, obliging him to murder fellow men, against his will.

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
Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the end death seems less intolerable than the manifold burdens we carry
Sigmund Freud
Image
I am not aware, however, that patients suffering from traumatic neurosis are much occupied in their waking lives with memories of their accident. Perhaps they are more concerned with not thinking of it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want to endure life, prepare yourself for death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Writers write for fame, wealth, power and the love of women.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Obsessional prohibitions are extremely liable to displacement. They extend from one object to another along whatever paths the context may provide, and this new object then becomes, to use the apt expression of one of my women patients, 'impossible' - till at last the whole world lies under an embargo of 'impossibility'.
