More quotes by Sigmund Freud
This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud
It is a predisposition of human nature to consider an unpleasant idea untrue, and then it is easy to find arguments against it.
Sigmund Freud
Humanity is in the highest degree irrational, so that there is no prospect of influencing it by reasonable arguments. Against prejudice one can do nothing.
Sigmund Freud
Writers write for fame, wealth, power and the love of women.
Sigmund Freud
There is to my mind no doubt that the concept of beautiful had its roots in sexual excitation and that its original meaning was sexually stimulating.
Sigmund Freud
Obsessional prohibitions are extremely liable to displacement. They extend from one object to another along whatever paths the context may provide, and this new object then becomes, to use the apt expression of one of my women patients, 'impossible' - till at last the whole world lies under an embargo of 'impossibility'.
Sigmund Freud
That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
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
Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.
Sigmund Freud
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
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
We know less about the sexual life of little girls than of boys. But we need not feel ashamed of this distinction after all, the sexual life of adult women is a 'dark continent' for psychology.
Sigmund Freud
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Sigmund Freud
In the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.
Sigmund Freud
The goal of all life is death
Sigmund Freud
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
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
Sigmund Freud
A hero is a man who stands up manfully against his father and in the end victoriously overcomes him.
Sigmund Freud
It is not so much that man is a herd animal, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief.
Sigmund Freud
