Sigmund Freud Quote: “There is to my mind no doubt that the concept of beautiful had its roots in sexual excitation and that its original meaning was sexually stimulating.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The psychoanalysis of neurotics has taught us to recognize the intimate connection between wetting the bed and the character trait of ambition.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Where id is, there shall ego be.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “My psychoanalysis has equipped you with the equivalent of a train ticket to recovery. It is now your decision whether or not you choose to make full use of it.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The study of dreams may be considered the most trustworthy method of investigating deep mental processes. 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 Quote: “Cigars served me for precisely fifty years as protection and a weapon in the combat of life... I owe to the cigar a great intensification of my capacity to work and a facilitation of my self-control.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “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 Quote: “Demons do not exist any more than gods do, being only the products of the psychic activity of man.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “A collection to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be removed is, in fact, dead!”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “No one who shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “So long as we trace the development from its final outcome backwards, the chain of events appears continuous, and we feel we have gained an insight which is completely satisfactory or even exhaustive. But if we proceed in the reverse way, if we start from the premises inferred from the analysis and try to follow these up to the final results, then we no longer get the impression of an inevitable sequence of events which could not have otherwise been determined.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “In general people experience their present naively, as it were, without being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put themselves at a distance from it – the present, that is to say, must have become the past – before it can yield points of vantage from which to judge the future.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “To be sure, the ancient belief that the dream reveals the future is not entirely devoid of truth. By representing to us a wish as fulfilled the dream certainly leads us into the future; but this future, taken by the dreamer as present, has been formed into the likeness of that past by the indestructible wish.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “We are never so vulnerable as when we love.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The true believer is in a high degree protected against the danger of certain neurotic afflictions; by accepting the universal neurosis he is spared the task of forming a personal neurosis.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The price of civilization is instinctual renunciation.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “We have become convinced that it is better to avoid such symbolic disguisings of the truth in what we tell children and not to withhold from them a knowledge of the true state of affairs commensurate with their intellectual level.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Happiness is the belated fulfilment of a prehistoric wish. For this reason wealth brings so little happiness. Money was not a childhood wish.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Perhaps the gods are kind to us, by making life more disagreeable as we grow older. In the end death seems less intolerable than the manifold burdens we carry.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Places are often treated like persons.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us O’er the world’s tempestuous sea; guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, for we have no help but thee.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to talking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Dreams are never concerned with trivia.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Civilization runs a greater risk if we maintain our present attitude to religion than if we give it up.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Every one has wishes which he would not like to tell to others, which he does not want to admit even to himself.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “You can always make a lot of people love one another so long as there are a smaller number outside the group for them to kick.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The three major mother gods of the Eastern populations seemed to be generating and destroying entities at the same time; both goddesses of life and fertility as well as goddesses of death.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient’s ego freedom to decide one way or another.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “What is characteristic of illusions is that they are derived from human wishes.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “They love their delusions as they love themselves.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Suffering comes from three quarters: from our own body, which is destined to decay and dissolution, and cannot even dispense with anxiety and pain as danger-signals; from the outer world, which can rage against us with the most powerful and pitiless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations with other men.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “I always find the same principles confirmed: the elements formed into the dream are drawn from the entire mass of the dream-thoughts, and in its relation to the dream-thoughts each one of the elements seems to be determined many times over.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “That others rejected it too, and still do, I find less surprising. ‘For the little children do not like it’ when there is talk of man’s inborn tendency to ‘wickedness’, to aggression and destruction, and therefore to cruelty.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Dreaming, in short, is one of the devices we employ to circumvent repression, one of the main methods of what may be called indirect representation in the mind.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “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 Quote: “We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The dream-thoughts and the dream-content lie before us like two versions of the same content in two different languages, or rather, the dream-content looks to us like a translation of the dream-thoughts into another mode of expression, and we are supposed to get to know its signs and laws of grammatical construction by comparing the original and the translation.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The communists think they have found the way to redeem mankind from evil. Man is equivocally good and well disposed to his neighbour, but his nature has been corrupted by the institution of private property... I can recognize the psychological presumption behind it as a baseless illusion. With the abolition of private property the human love of aggression is robbed of one of its tools, a strong one no doubt, but certainly not the strongest... Aggression was not created by property.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Life is impoverished, it loses in interest, when the highest stake in the game of living, life itself, may not be risked. It becomes as shallow and empty as, let us say, an American flirtation.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The state in which the ideas existed before being made conscious is called by us repression.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “One must not be mean with the affections; what is spent of the fund is renewed in the spending itself.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Thus we arrive at the singular conclusion that of all the information passed by our cultural assets it is precisely the elements which might be of the greatest importance to us and which have the task of solving the riddles of the universe and of reconciling us to the sufferings of life – it is precisely those elements that are the least well authenticated of any.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “The reproaches against science for not having yet solved the problems of the universe are exaggerated in an unjust and malicious manner; it has truly not had time enough yet for these great achievements. Science is very young – a human activity which developed late.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “To put it briefly, there are two widely diffused human characteristics which are responsible for the fact that the organization of culture can be maintained only by a certain measure of coercion: that is to say, men are not naturally fond of work, and arguments are of no avail against their passions.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “We are alone in confronting a different state of affairs; as we see it, there is a new kind of psychical material intervening between the content of the dream and the results of our reflections: the latent dream-content reached by our procedure, or the dream-thoughts. It is from this latent content, not the manifest, that we worked out the solution to the dream.”
Sigmund Freud Quote: “Trying to be completely sincere with yourself is a good exercise.”
