| | Where id is, there shall ego be. |
| | Analogies prove nothing, that is quite true, but they can make one feel more at home. |
| | Thinking is an experimental dealing with small quantities of energy, just as a general moves miniature figures over a map before setting his troops in action. |
| | Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness. |
| | The ego is not master in its own house. |
| | At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father. |
| | A man's heterosexuality will not put up with any homosexuality, and vice versa. |

| | Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent. |

| | It must be admitted that women have but little sense of justice, and this is no doubt connected with the preponderance of envy in their mental life. |

| | Sex is the mathematical urge repressed. |
| | Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. |
| | The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him. |
| | The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” |
| | The moment a man begins to question the meaning and value of life, he is sick. |
| | The only thing about masturbation to be ashamed of is doing it badly. |
| | The paranoid is never entirely mistaken. |
| | We are our desires. |
