This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It could be ventured to understand obsessive compulsive neurosis as the pathological counterpart of religious development, to define neurosis as an individual religiosity to define religion as a universal obsessive compulsive neurosis.
Sigmund Freud
Image
It almost looks like analysis were the third of those 'impossible' professions in which one can be quite sure of unsatisfying results. The other two, much older-established, are the bringing up of children and the government of nations.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When one does not have what one wants, one must want what one has.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The individual does actually carry on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a chain, in which he serves against, or at any rate without, any volition of his own.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Sigmund Freud
Image
No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.
Sigmund Freud
Image
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There is a powerful force within us, an un-illuminated part of the mind - separate from the conscious mind that is constantly at work molding our thought, feelings, and actions.
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.
