The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
Sigmund FreudA belligerent state permits itself every such misdeed, every such act of violence, as would disgrace the individual.
Sigmund FreudThe liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization, though then, it is true, it had for the most part no value, since the individual was scarcely in a position to defend it. The development of civilization imposes restrictions on it, and justice demands that no one shall escape those restrictions.
