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
The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness.
Sigmund Freud
