But the repressed merges into the id as well, and is merely a part of it. The repressed is only cut off sharply from the ego by the resistances of repression it can communicate with the ego through the id.

Sigmund Freud
Image
Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as right in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as brute force.
Sigmund Freud

We are what we are because we have been what we have been.
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
Image
The dream unites the grossest contradictions, permits impossibilities, sets aside the knowledge that influences us by day, and exposes us as ethically and morally obtuse.
Sigmund Freud
Image
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
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
Image
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
Sigmund Freud

History is just new people making old mistakes.
Sigmund Freud
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.

If you can't do it, give up!

I am not aware, however, that patients suffering from traumatic neurosis are much occupied in their waking lives with memories of their accident. Perhaps they are more concerned with not thinking of it.
