Mans most disagreeable habits...

Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

I cannot face with comfort the idea of life without work; work and the free play of the imagination are for me the same thing, I take no pleasure in anything else.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Cruelty and intolerance to th...

Cruelty and intolerance to those who do not belong to it are natural to every religion.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The fateful question for the ...

The fateful question for the human species seems to me to be whether and to what extent their cultural development will succeed in mastering the disturbance of their communal life by the human instinct of aggression and self-destruction ... One thing only do I know for certain and that is that man's judgements of value follow directly from his wihes for happiness-that, accordingly, they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The virtuous man contents him...

The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

We know that the great majority of people have a strong need for authority which it can admire, to which it can submit, and which dominates and sometimes even ill-treats it.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The gods retain their threefold task: they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they must reconcile men to the cruelty of Fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they must compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life in common has imposed on them.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

In the long run, nothing can ...

In the long run, nothing can withstand reason and experience, and the contradiction religion offers to both is palpable.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

It is not so much that man is...

It is not so much that man is a herd animal, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Properly speaking, the unconscious is the real psychic; its inner nature is just as unknown to us as the reality of the external world, and it is just as imperfectly reported to us through the data of consciousness as is the external world through the indications of our sensory organs.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

So in every individual the tw...

So in every individual the two trends, one towards personal happiness and the other unity with the rest of humanity, must contend with each other.

Religion (is) a universal obsessional neurosis.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Once again, only religion can...

Once again, only religion can answer the question of the purpose of life. One can hardly be wrong in concluding that the idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Creativity is an attempt to resolve a conflict generated by unexpressed biological impulses, such that unfulfilled desires are the driving force of the imagination, and they fuel our dreams and daydreams.

Talk therapy turns hysterical misery to mundane unhappiness.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The adoption of the required ...

The adoption of the required attitude of mind towards ideas that seem to emerge "of their own free will" and the abandonment of the critical function that is normally in operation against them seem to be hard of achievement for some people. The "involuntary thoughts" are liable to release a most violent resistance, which seeks to prevent their emergence. If we may trust that great poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller, however, poetic creation must demand an exactly similar attitude.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The time comes when each of u...

The time comes when each of us has to give up as illusions the expectations which, in his youth, he pinned upon his fellow-men, and when he may learn how much difficulty and pain has been added to his life by their ill-will.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

You wanted to kill your father in order to be your father yourself. Now you are your father, but a dead father.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

A state of consciousness is characteristically very transitory; an idea that is conscious now is no longer so a moment later, although it can become so again under certain conditions that are easily brought about.
