Image
It is unavoidable that if we learn more about a great man's life, we shall also hear of occasions on which he has done no better than we, and has in fact come nearer to us as a human being.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim...to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you can't do it, give up!
Sigmund Freud
Image
We must reckon with the possibility that something in the nature of the sexual instinct itself is unfavorable to the realization of complete satisfaction.
Sigmund Freud
Image
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
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
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
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
Thinking in pictures is, therefore, only a very incomplete form of becoming conscious. In some way, too, it stands nearer to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and it is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychic development of the individual is a short repetition of the course of development of the race.
Sigmund Freud
Image
History is just new people making old mistakes.
Sigmund Freud
Image
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
Image
All giving is asking, and all asking is an asking for love.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The essence of analysis is surprise. When people are themselves surprised by what they say, that's when they are really making some progress.
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
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud
Image
...perhaps the hopes I have confessed to are of an illusory nature, too. But I hold fast to one distinction. Apart from the fact that no penalty is imposed for not sharing them, my illusions are not, like religious ones, incapable of correction.
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

Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.
