And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud's view of man.

And yet there are some magnificent things from Freud, profound insights into the nature of man.

I don't admire Freud as much as some people do. Imagine Shakespeare being aware of the Oedipal complex when he wrote Hamlet. It would have been a disaster.

The center that I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind.

I'm not that taken with Freudian perspectives. They seem to be overcomplicated.

I've never gone into analysis. But Freud opened a door, I know.

Psychoanalysis is out, under a therapeutic disguise, to do away entirely with the moral faculty in man.

Freud was a hero. He descended to the Underworld and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusa's head which turned these terrors to stone.
