Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.

Analogies, it is true, decide nothing, but they can make one feel more at home.

Where id was, there ego shall be.

The ego is not master in its own house.

We have long observed that every neurosis has the result, and therefore probably the purpose, of forcing the patient out of real life, of alienating him from actuality.

If you can't do it, give up!
