Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Concerning the factors of silence, solitude and darkness, we can only say that they are actually elements in the production of the infantile anxiety from which the majority of human beings have never become quite free.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
Image
[The child] takes his play very seriously and he expends large amounts of emotion on it. The opposite of play is not what is serious but what is real.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If youth knew if age could.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I like to avoid concessions to faint-heartedness. One can never tell where that road may lead one one gives way first in words, and then little by little in substance too.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We choose not randomly each other. We meet only those who already exists in our subconscious.
