More quotes by Sigmund Freud
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
Tobacco is the only excuse for Columbus's misadventure in discovering America.
Sigmund Freud
It almost looks like analysis were the third of those 'impossible' professions in which one can be quite sure of unsatisfying results. The other two, much older-established, are the bringing up of children and the government of nations.
Sigmund Freud
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.
Sigmund Freud
Children are completely egoistic they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
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
A lady once expressed herself in society - the very words show that they were uttered with fervour and under the pressure of a great many secret emotions: Yes, a woman must be pretty if she is to please the men. A man is much better off. As long as he has five straight limbs, he needs no more!
Sigmund Freud
It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.
Sigmund Freud
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
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
Even if all parts of a problem seem to fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, one has to remember that the probable need not necessarily be the truth and the truth not always probable.
Sigmund Freud
There is a powerful force within us, an un-illuminated part of the mind - separate from the conscious mind that is constantly at work molding our thought, feelings, and actions.
Sigmund Freud
The Mosaic religion had been a Father religion Christianity became a Son religion. The old God, the Father, took second place Christ, the Son, stood in His stead, just as in those dark times every son had longed to do.
Sigmund Freud
An overwhelming majority of symbols in dreams are sexual symbols.
Sigmund Freud
My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
Sigmund Freud
The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is uncomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct. The reason is becoming the enemy that prevents us from a lot of possibilities of pleasure.
Sigmund Freud
He sido un hombre afortunado en la vida, nada me ha sido facil. I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easy
Sigmund Freud
It is easy to see that the ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world.
Sigmund Freud
Obsessional prohibitions are extremely liable to displacement. They extend from one object to another along whatever paths the context may provide, and this new object then becomes, to use the apt expression of one of my women patients, 'impossible' - till at last the whole world lies under an embargo of 'impossibility'.
Sigmund Freud
Religion belonged to the infancy of humanity. Now that humanity had come of age, it should be left behind.
Sigmund Freud
