Image
In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my dear fellow-men, with a few exceptions, are worthless.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When a man has once brought himself to accept uncritically all the absurdities that religious doctrines put before him and even to overlook the contradictions between them, we need not be greatly suprised at the weakness of his intellect.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
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

Sigmund Freud
Image

Sigmund Freud
Image
Indeed, the great Leonardo (da Vinci) remained like a child for the whole of his life in more than one way. It is said that all great men are bound to retain some infantile part. Even as an adult he continued to play, and this was another reason why he often appeared uncanny and incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I had thought about cocaine in a kind of day-dream.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
Image
That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The goal of all life is death
Sigmund Freud
Image
The sexual life of adult women is a dark continent for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
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
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The rest of our enquiry is made easy because this God-Creator is openly called Father. Psycho-analysis concludes that he really is the father, clothed in the grandeur in which he once appeared to the small child.
