The poor ego has a still harde...

The poor ego has a still harder time of it; it has to serve three harsh masters, and it has to do its best to reconcile the claims and demands of all three...The three tyrants are the external world, the superego, and the id.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The expectation that every neu...

The expectation that every neurotic phenomenon can be cured may, I suspect, be derived from the layman's belief that the neuroses are something quite unnecessary which have no right whatever to exist. Whereas in fact they are severe, constitutionally fixed illnesses, which rarely restrict themselves to only a few attacks but persist as a rule over long periods throughout life.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Neurosis is the result of a co...

Neurosis is the result of a conflict between the ego and its id, whereas psychosis is the analogous outcome of a similar disturbance in the relation between the ego and the external world.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

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 555 quotes

Innately, children seem to hav...

Innately, children seem to have little true realistic anxiety. They will run along the brink of water, climb on the window sill, play with sharp objects and with fire, in short, do everything that is bound to damage them and to worry those in charge of them, that is wholly the result of education; for they cannot be allowed to make the instructive experiences themselves.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The aim of psychoanalysis is to relieve people of their neurotic unhappiness so that they can be normally unhappy.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

A man's heterosexuality will not put up with any homosexuality, and vice versa.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Homosexuality is assuredly no ...

Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The communal life of human bei...

The communal life of human beings had . . . a two-fold foundation: the compulsion to work, which was created by external necessity, and the power of love.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

In the development of mankind ...

In the development of mankind as a whole, just as in individuals, love alone acts as the civilizing factor in the sense that it brings a change from egoism to altruism.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Look into the depths of your o...

Look into the depths of your own soul and learn first to know yourself, then you will understand why this illness was bound to come upon you and perhaps you will thenceforth avoid falling ill.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

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

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

The ego refuses to be distress...

The ego refuses to be distressed by the provocations of reality, to let itself be compelled to suffer. It insists that it cannot be affected by the traumas of the external world; it shows, in fact, that such traumas are no more than occasions for it to gain pleasure.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

It sounds not only disagreeabl...

It sounds not only disagreeable but also paradoxical, yet it must nevertheless be said that anyone who is to be really free and happy in love must have surmounted his respect for women and have come to terms with the idea of incest with his mother or sister.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Humor is a means of obtaining ...

Humor is a means of obtaining pleasure in spite of the distressing effects that interface with it.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

Cigars served me for precisely...

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 555 quotes

Our unconscious, then, does no...

Our unconscious, then, does not believe in its own death; it behaves as if it were immortal. It knows nothing that is negative; in it contradictories coincide. This may be the secret of heroism.

Sigmund Freud 555 quotes

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
