“Whoever loves become humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.”
Wer verliebt ist, ist demütig. Wer liebt, hat sozusagen ein Stück seines Narzißmus eingebüßt.

Kontextus: Towards the outside, at any rate, the ego seems to maintain clear and sharp lines of demarcation. There is only one state — admittedly an unusual state, but not one that can be stigmatized as pathological — in which it does not do this. At the height of being in love the boundary between ego and object threatens to melt away. Against all the evidence of his senses, a man who is in love declares that "I" and "you" are one, and is prepared to behave as if it were a fact.
“The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.”
1920s, The Future of an Illusion (1927)
Kontextus: The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endlessly repeated rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points in which it may be optimistic about the future of mankind, but in itself it signifies not a little.
“Immorality, no less than morality, has at all times found support in religion.”
Forrás: 1920s, The Future of an Illusion (1927), Ch. 7

“I will cure all the incurable nervous cases and through you I shall be healthy”
Letter to Martha Bernays, after receiving a travel grant he had been having dreams of receiving (20 June 1885)
1880s
Kontextus: Princess, my little Princess,
Oh, how wonderful it will be! I am coming with money and staying a long time and bringing something beautiful for you and then go on to Paris and become a great scholar and then come back to Vienna with a huge, enormous halo, and then we will soon get married, and I will cure all the incurable nervous cases and through you I shall be healthy and I will go on kissing you till you are strong and gay and happy — and "if they haven't died, they are still alive today."
“He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret.”
Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria (1905) Ch. 2 : The First Dream
1900s
Forrás: Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis
Kontextus: He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
Forrás: 1920s, The Future of an Illusion (1927), Ch. 6
Forrás: Letters of Sigmund Freud, 1873-1939
Man kann sich des Eindrucks nicht erwehren, daß die Menschen gemeinhin mit falschen Maßstäben messen, Macht, Erfolg und Reichtum für sich anstreben und bei anderen bewundern, die wahren Werte des Lebens aber unterschätzen.
