Sigmund Freud
The unconscious of one human being can react upon that of another without passing through the conscious.
Sigmund Freud
It is easy to see that the ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world.
Sigmund Freud
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.

Sigmund Freud
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'.
Sigmund Freud
A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud
We find a place for what we lose. Although we know that after such a loss the acute stage of mourning will subside, we also know that we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.
Sigmund Freud
If children could, if adults knew.
Sigmund Freud
I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador
Sigmund Freud
But the less a man knows about the past and the present the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.
Sigmund Freud
