I prefer the company of animals more than the company of humans. Certainly, a wild animal is cruel. But to be merciless is the privilege of civilized humans.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Perception is less of a recor...

Perception is less of a recording system and more of a protection system against external stimuli.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The meager satisfaction that man can extract from reality leaves him starving.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

None believes in his own deat...

None believes in his own death. In the unconscious everyone is convinced of his own immortality.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Perhaps the gods are kind to ...

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 555 quotes

Instinct of love toward an ob...

Instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it, and if a person feels they can't control the object or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Illusions commend themselves ...

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

I've been a fortunate man in ...

I've been a fortunate man in life, nothing has come easily.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

There is a psychological tech...

There is a psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams, and ... if that procedure is employed, every dream reveals itself as a psychical structure which has a meaning and which can be inserted at an assignable point in the mental activities of waking life.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

My love is something valuable...

My love is something valuable to me which I ought not to throw away without reflection.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

I am actually not at all a ma...

I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The poets and philosophers before me discovered the unconscious; what I discovered was the scientific method by which the unconscious can be studied.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Toward the person who has die...

Toward the person who has died we adopt a special attitude: something like admiration for someone who has accomplished a very difficult task.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Religion restricts the play o...

Religion restricts the play of choice and adaptation, since it imposes equally on everyone its own path to the acquisition of happiness and protection from suffering. Its technique consists in depressing the value of life and distorting the picture of the real world in a delusional manner - which presupposes an intimidation of the intelligence. At this price, by forcibly fixing them in a state of psychical infantilism and by drawing them into a mass-delusion, religion succeeds in sparing many people an individual neurosis. But hardly anything more.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Where questions of religion a...

Where questions of religion are concerned, people are guilty of every possible sort of dishonesty and intellectual misdemeanor.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

It is a mistake to believe th...

It is a mistake to believe that science consists in nothing but conclusively proved propositions, and it is unjust to demand that it should. It is a demand made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form to replace the religious catechism by something else, even a scientific one.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Immorality, no less than mora...

Immorality, no less than morality, has at all times found support in religion.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Philosophers stretch the mean...

Philosophers stretch the meaning of words until they retain scarcely anything of their original sense. They give the name of "God" to some vague abstraction which they have created for themselves; having done so they can pose before all the world as deists, as believers of God, and they can even boast that they have recognized a higher, purer concept of God, notwithstanding that their God is not nothing more than an insubstantial shadow and no longer the mighty personality of religious doctrines.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The whole thing [religion] is...

The whole thing [religion] is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Life as we find it is too har...

Life as we find it is too hard for us; it entails too much pain, too many disappointments, impossible tasks. We cannot do without palliative remedies.
