Sigmund Freud quotes about
At the bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father
A great part of the pleasure of travel lies in the fulfillment of early wishes to escape the family and especially the father

Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee.
You wanted to kill your father in order to be your father yourself. Now you are your father, but a dead father.
The sexual wishes in regard to the mother become more intense and the father is perceived as an obstacle to the; this gives rise to the Oedipus complex.

The time comes when each one of us has to give up as illusions the expectations which, in his youth, he pinned upon his fellow-men, and when he may learn how much difficulty and pain has been added to his life by their ill-will.
Psychoanalysis is for hysterical pathological cases, not for silly rich American women who should be learning how to darn socks
