Quotes About Fliess

Fliess concluded from his studies that the physiological seat of sexuality lay in the nose, and that there was a twenty-three-day cycle in male sexuality that bore some relation to astronomical movements.

Furthermore, the way in which the two (Freud and Jung) corresponds invoke Fliess's ghost leaves no doubt on the subject. They threaten each other with it between the lines, they frighten each other with it, and they do so because they know (but with a secret, esoteric knowledge that never goes beyond the bounds of the private correspondence) that Fliess had gone mad owing to his correspondence with Freud.
