More quotes by Sigmund Freud
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
When one does not have what one wants, one must want what one has.
Sigmund Freud
Indeed, the great Leonardo (da Vinci) remained like a child for the whole of his life in more than one way. It is said that all great men are bound to retain some infantile part. Even as an adult he continued to play, and this was another reason why he often appeared uncanny and incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
Sigmund Freud
It could be ventured to understand obsessive compulsive neurosis as the pathological counterpart of religious development, to define neurosis as an individual religiosity to define religion as a universal obsessive compulsive neurosis.
Sigmund Freud
Toward the person who has died we adopt a special attitude: something like admiration for someone who has accomplished a very difficult task.
Sigmund Freud
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
Concerning the factors of silence, solitude and darkness, we can only say that they are actually elements in the production of the infantile anxiety from which the majority of human beings have never become quite free.
Sigmund Freud
We find a place for what we lose. Although we know that after such a loss the acute stage of mourning will subside, we also know that we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else.
Sigmund Freud
The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
Sigmund Freud
Do you not know how uncontrolled and unreliable the average human being is in all that concerns sexual life?
Sigmund Freud
No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.
Sigmund Freud
Just as a satisfaction of instinct spells happiness for us, so severe suffering is caused us if the external world lets us starve, if it refuses to sate our needs. One may therefore hope to be freed from a part of one's sufferings by influencing the instinctual impulses.
Sigmund Freud
Knowledge is the intellectual manipulation of carefully verified observations.
Sigmund Freud
Adolescent stage in the development of the human race from which humanity should free itself.
Sigmund Freud
It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness.
Sigmund Freud
I consider it a good rule for letter-writing to leave unmentioned what the recipient already knows, and instead tell him something new.
Sigmund Freud
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
Sigmund Freud
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
Sigmund Freud
Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise it forces the individual into situations that shame his manhood, obliging him to murder fellow men, against his will.
Sigmund Freud
Religious illusion must bow to scientific truth. It is in total error about the nature of the true world. Only science is not an illusion.
Sigmund Freud
