On September 23, 2021 we mark 82 years since the day the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, ended his earthly journey. We're sharing some of his most-quoted lines:
📜 Envy is destructive.
📜 The only person you should compare yourself with is the you of the past. And the only person you should be better than is the you of right now.
📜 A person never gives anything up — they simply trade one pleasure for another.
📜 To be entirely honest with yourself is a fine exercise.
📜 For reason there is no higher authority.
📜 He who loves many women knows women; he who loves one knows love.
📜 Alone with themselves, people are always either very kind or very stupid.
📜 Every normal person, in practice, is only partly normal.
📜 The more impeccable a person looks on the outside, the more demons they have inside.
📜 The first sign of stupidity is a complete absence of shame.
📜 Unfortunately, suppressed emotions don't die. They've been silenced. And they go on shaping the person from within.
📜 Nothing in life costs as much as illness and stupidity.
📜 Every person has desires they don't tell others, and desires they don't even recognize in themselves.
📜 It is human nature to value and to want what one cannot reach.
📜 We adults don't understand children, because we don't understand most of our own childhood.
📜 The masses have never thirsted for truth. They want illusions, without which they cannot live.
📜 We don't choose each other by chance. We meet only the one who already exists in our subconscious.
📜 We come into the world alone and leave it alone.
📜 You spend all your time looking for strength and confidence somewhere outside yourself, when you should be looking inside. They've always been there.
📜 Most people don't really want freedom, because freedom implies responsibility, and people are afraid of it.
📜 The only sexual deviation is the complete absence of sex; everything else is a matter of taste.
📜 Sex begins when a woman takes a man by the hand.
📜 Despite my 30 years of researching the female soul, I have never been able to answer the question that no one has yet answered: "What does a woman want?"
📜 We are never so defenseless as when we love, and never so hopelessly unhappy as when we lose love.
