Sigmund Freud

"If a man has been his mother's undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it."

"Love and work... work and love, that's all there is."

"Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine."

"Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits, it is part of my own being."

"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."

"The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety."

"The goal of all life is death."

"The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind."

"We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love."
