Sigmund Freud,
(1856-1939) |
The great question... which I have not been able to answer... is, "What
does a woman want? -- Freud
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy
pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes
collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces. Sigmund Freud
When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it.
One must not be mean with the affections; what is spent of the fund is renewed in
the spending itself.
In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart. -Sigmund Freud
Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the
average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in
some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent.
As regards intellectual work, it remains a fact,
indeed, that great decisions in the realms of thought
and momentous discoveries and solutions of problems are
only possible to an individual working in solitude.
-Sigmund Freud, neurologist, founder of psychoanalysis
(1856-1939)
A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a
drive, especially to a psychologist.
--Sigmund Freud
Just as a cautious businessman avoids tying up all his capital in one concern, so, perhaps, worldly wisdom will advise us not to look for the whole of our satisfaction from a single aspiration. -Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books. -Sigmund Freud, neurologist, founder of psychoanalysis (1856-1939)
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization. -
'Religion is a common form of mental illness' - Freud
The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. --Sigmund Freud
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
