Image
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
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
Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We choose not randomly each other. We meet only those who already exists in our subconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Image
In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our nature.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
A father's death is the most important event, the more heartbreaking and poignant loss in a man's life.
Sigmund Freud

Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion belonged to the infancy of humanity. Now that humanity had come of age, it should be left behind.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The facts which have caused us to believe in the dominance of the pleasure principle in mental life also find expression in the hypothesis that the mental apparatus endeavours to keep the quantity of excitation present in it as low as possible or at least to keep it constant.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Men have gained control over the forces of nature to such an extent that with their help they would have no difficulty exterminating one another to the last man. They know this, and hence comes a large part of their current unrest, their unhappiness and their mood of anxiety.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I do not doubt that it would be easier for fate to take away your suffering than it would for me. But you will see for yourself that much has been gained if we succeed in turning your hysterical misery into common unhappiness.
Sigmund Freud
Image
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture.
Sigmund Freud
