Freud Society

Famous quotes containing the words freud and/or society:

    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)

    Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
