3 Sigmund Freud Quotes on Criticism

Sigmund Freud quotes on criticism

22. America is a mistake, admittedly a gigantic mistake, but a mistake nevertheless.

48. Such progress we have made! In the Middle Ages, they would have burned me as a witch, but now they are content to burn my book.

61. Doctor Freud not only used cocaine himself, but he also prescribed it to his patients. And then he drew his generalizations. Cocaine is a strong sexual arouser. That's why everything Freud invented - all those oedipuses, sphinxes and sphincters - is relevant only to a mental dimension of a patient, whose brain is turned to fried-eggs by cocaine. In such a state, one really has only one problem left - what to do first, to screw his mother or to do away with his father. Of course, until his cocaine runs out. And in those times, there were no problems with supplies. But so long as your daily dose is less than three grams, you don't have to fear either the Oedipus complex, nor other things discovered by Freud.
