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.

More quotes by Sigmund Freud
The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions. The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them.
Sigmund Freud
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
When we share - that is poetry in the prose of life.
Sigmund Freud
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
I like to avoid concessions to faint-heartedness. One can never tell where that road may lead one one gives way first in words, and then little by little in substance too.
Sigmund Freud
We know that the great majority of people have a strong need for authority which it can admire, to which it can submit, and which dominates and sometimes even ill-treats it.
Sigmund Freud
The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.
Sigmund Freud
I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
Sigmund Freud
No other technique for the conduct of life attaches the individual so firmly to reality as laying emphasis on work for his work at least gives him a secure place in a portion of reality, in the human community.
Sigmund Freud
Christmas is the alcoholidays
Sigmund Freud
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization.
Sigmund Freud
The most ancient and important taboo prohibitions are the two basic laws of totemism: not to kill the totem animal and to avoid sexual intercourse with members of the totem clan of the opposite sex.
Sigmund Freud
Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
Sigmund Freud
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
The moment a man questions the meaning and value of life, he is sick, since objectively neither has any existence by asking this question one is merely admitting to a store of unsatisfied libido to which something else must have happened, a kind of fermentation leading to sadness and depression.
Sigmund Freud
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
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud
A transference neurosis corresponds to a conflict between ego and id, a narcissistic neurosis corresponds to that between between ego and super-ego, and a psychosis to that between ego and outer world.
Sigmund Freud
It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.
