Sigmund Freud
Image
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast.
Sigmund Freud
Image
There is an intellectual function in us which demands unity, connection and intelligibility from any material, whether of perception or thought, that comes within its grasp and if, as a result of special circumstances, it is unable to establish a true connection, it does not hesitate to fabricate a false one.
Sigmund Freud
Image
No neurotic harbors thoughts of suicide which are not murderous impulses against others redirected upon himself.
Sigmund Freud
