More quotes by Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud

The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.
Sigmund Freud
Writers write for fame, wealth, power and the love of women.
Sigmund Freud
Religious illusion must bow to scientific truth. It is in total error about the nature of the true world. Only science is not an illusion.
Sigmund Freud
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
Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know the work of Eros is precisely this.
Sigmund Freud
The sexual wishes in regard to the mother become more intense and the father is perceived as an obstacle to the this gives rise to the Oedipus complex.
Sigmund Freud
It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.
