Image
If you want to endure life, prepare yourself for death.
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
Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Anxiety in children is originally nothing other than an expression of the fact they are feeling the loss of the person they love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The Irish are the one race for which psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever... because they already live in a dream world.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What decides the purpose of life is simply the programme of the pleasure principle. This principle dominates the operation of the mental apparatus from the start. There can be no doubt about its efficacy, and yet its programme is at loggerheads with the whole world, with the macrocosm as much as with the microcosm.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The whole life of instinct serves the one end of bringing about death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
History is just new people making old mistakes.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I take up the standpoint that the tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man, and I come back now to the statement that it constitutes the most powerful obstacle to culture.
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
Desire presses ever forward unsubdued.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The motive forces of phantasies are unsatisfied wishes, and every single phantasy is the fulfillment of a wish, a correction of unsatisfying reality.
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
