Quotes About Freud

CUNNINGHAM: Defense calls Sigmund Freud, Your Honor. BAILIFF: Name! SIGMUND FREUD: Doctor Sigmund Shlomo Freud. CUNNINGHAM: Doctor Freud, would it be accurate to say you qualify as an expert in the field of modern psychiatry? SIGMUND FREUD: Fräulein—I AM modern psychiatry. EL-FAYOUMY: Objection, Your Honor!—the witness is boasting! JUDGE LITTLEFIELD: Overruled!

Freud's antique notion of women as diminished men is quite wrong. Biology instead reveals every man's battle to escape the woman within.

During the years 1945-1965, there was a certain way of thinking correctly, a certain style of political discourse, a certain ethics of the intellectual. One had to be on familiar terms with Marx, not let one's dreams stray too far from Freud.

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.

Além de eloquentes, esses sonhos eram belos. Esse é um aspecto que escapou a Freud na sua teoria dos sonhos. (...) O sonho é a prova que imaginar, sonhar com aquilo que não acontece, é uma das mais profundas necessidades do homem.

The dreams were eloquent, but they were also beautiful. That aspect seemed to escape Freud in his theory of dreams. Dreaming is not merely an act of communication; it is also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination, a game that is a value in itself. Our dreams prove that to imagine - to dream about the things that have not happened - is among mankind's deepest needs.

Like art, sex is fraught with symbols. Family romance (Freud) means that adult sex is always representation, ritualistic acting out of vanished realities.

Marx was the first to identify the historical object known as capitalism - to show how it arose, by what laws it worked, and how it might be brought to an end. Rather as Newton discovered the invisible forces known as the laws of gravity, and Freud laid bare the workings of an invisible phenomenon known as the unconscious, so Marx unmasked our everyday life to reveal an imperceptible entity known as the capitalist mode of production.

Freud made the discovery- quite genuinely, simply through working on his own material- that the more deeply one explores the phenomena of human individuation, the more unreservedly one grasps the individual as a self-contained and dynamic entity, the closer one draws to that in the individual which is really no longer individual.

In the cab of the locomotive it was the swaggering hotshot known as the engineer who was boss. This "engine runner" (also called a "hoghead" or "hogger" or even "throttle jockey") was the object of the most intense popular fascination—it's been said that even Sigmund Freud dreamed of becoming a railroad engineer.

given the amount of material Freud provides in the case study, but one point which seems amply clear is that all of the Rat Man's problems are intimately related to his father.

Parlor talk seems to me on much more promising ground worrying over conformity than gnawing the bones of Freud.

It beats me how Freud could say "What do women want?" as if we all must want the same thing.

There were some great clinicians in the 20th century - great men. Freud was a genius; Jung was a genius, Carl Rogers was a genius - there's a half-dozen psychologists of the 1950s and humanists of the 1960s.

you're quite wrong there, Collie. One does miss sex. The body has a life of it's own. We do miss what we haven't had, you and I. Biologically. Ask Sigmund Freud. It is revealed in dreams. The absent touch of warm limbs at night, the absent

Como nos enseña Freud, la mujer desea lo contrario de lo que piensa o declara

De mujeres, y de otros menesteres mundanos, bastante mas que usted. Como nos enseña Freud, la mujer desea lo contrario de lo que piensa o declara, lo cual, bien mirado, no es tan terrible por que el hombre, como nos enseña Perogrullo, obedece por contra al dictado de su aparato genital o digestivo.

No sé yo mucho de mujeres, la verdad. —Saber no sabe nadie, ni Freud, ni ellas mismas

The trouble is that man, going back to Freud - and excuse the metaphor - heats up like a light bulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a flash. The female, on the other hand - and this is pure science - heats up like an iron, slowly, over a low heat, like a tasty stew. But then, once she has heated up, there's no stopping her. Like the steel furnaces in Vizcaya! I weighed up Fermin's thermodynamic theories.

Como nos ensina Freud,a mulher deseja o contrário daquilo que pensa ou declara,o que,bem vistas as coisas não é assim tão terrível,porque o homem,como nos ensina o Calino, obedece em contrapartida aos ditames do seu aparelho genital ou digestivo.

Day after day I read Freud, thinking myself to be very enlightened and scientific when, as a matter of fact, I was about as scientific as an old woman secretly poring over books about occultism, trying to tell her own fortune, and learning how to dope out the future form the lines in the palm of her hand. I don't know if I ever got very close to needing a padded cell: but if I ever had gone crazy, I think psychoanalysis would have been the one thing chiefly responsible for it.

The trouble with Freud is that he never played the Glasgow Empire on a Saturday night after Rangers and Celtic had both lost.

Before the beginning of this century, Freud and Josef Breuer had recognized that neurotic symptoms—hysteria, certain types of pain, and abnormal behavior—are in fact symbolically meaningful. They are one way in which the unconscious mind expresses itself, just as it may in dreams; and they are equally symbolic.

Perhaps I have now said enough to show how I came increasingly to disagree with "free" association as Freud first employed it: I wanted to keep as close as possible to the dream itself, and to exclude all the irrelevant ideas and associations that it might evoke.
