Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud
Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
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

Sigmund Freud
