Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
The unconscious of one human being can react upon that of another without passing through the conscious.
Sigmund Freud
When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.
Sigmund Freud
The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.
Sigmund Freud
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
Only a rebuke that 'has something in it' will sting, will have the power to stir our feelings, not the other sort, as we know.
Sigmund Freud
Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
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
Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers.
Sigmund Freud
