Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“There is none who does not lie hourly in the respect he pays to false appearance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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 (1856–1939)
