Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
