It might be said of psychoanalysis that if you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
Opposition is not necessarily enmity.
Sigmund Freud
Image
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

Sigmund Freud
Image
Psychiatry is the art of teaching people how to stand on their own feet while reclining on couches.
Sigmund Freud

It is unavoidable that if we learn more about a great man's life, we shall also hear of occasions on which he has done no better than we, and has in fact come nearer to us as a human being.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Neurosis is the result of a conflict between the ego and its id, whereas psychosis is the analogous outcome of a similar disturbance in the relation between the ego and the external world.

If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud

Now dreams occurring in traumatic neuroses have the characteristic of repeatedly bringing the patient back into the situation of his accident, a situation from which he wakes up in another fright.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The paranoid is never entirely mistaken.
Sigmund Freud
Image
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
Image
The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites.
Sigmund Freud
Image
The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
Sigmund Freud
Image
When a man has once brought himself to accept uncritically all the absurdities that religious doctrines put before him and even to overlook the contradictions between them, we need not be greatly suprised at the weakness of his intellect.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
Sigmund Freud
Image
