The moment man begins to question the meaning and value of life he is sick - Sigmund Freud
Freud felt that the therapists' work with a woman was probably done when (in his own words), "we have reached the [woman's] wish for a penis.... The repudiation of femininity must surely be a biological fact...." In the psychoanalytical literature it is described that, "Such a craving [for a penis] is every bit as powerful as the need for food...."[486]
I have found little that is good about human beings. In my experience most of them are trash - Sigmund Freud
Cocaine addict too. "'Woe to you, my Princess, when I come. I will kiss you quite red and feed you till you are plump. And if you are forward, you shall see who is stronger, a gentle little girl who doesn't eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body'" - Freud in a letter to his fiancé in 1884.[487]
