If only simplicity were not the most difficult of all things. It consists of watching objectively the development of any fragment of fantasy.

Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.

I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum. I am incapable of determining ultimate worth or worthlessness; I have no judgment about myself and my life. There is nothing I am quite sure about. I have no definite convictions - not about anything, really. I know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation or something I do not know.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

If you are unhappy, you are too high up in your mind.

You are a slave of what you need in your soul.

The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
