| + | "What we call [[happiness]] in the strictest sense comes from the (preferable sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree, and it is from its nature only possible as an episodic phenomenon. When any situation that is desired by the pleasure principle is prolonged, it only produces a feeling of mild contentment. We are so made that we can derive intense enjoyment only from a contrast and very little from a state of things. Thus our possibilities of happiness are already restricted by our constitution. [[Unhappiness]] is much less difficult to experience." --''[[Civilization and Its Discontents]]'' (1930) by Sigmund Freud, tr. James Strachey | ||

| + | "Men are not gentle creatures, who want to be loved, who at the most can defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. As a result, their neighbor is for them not only a potential helper or sexual object, but also someone who tempts them to satisfy their aggressiveness on him, to exploit his capacity for work without compensation, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessions, to humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him. ''[[Homo homini lupus]].'' Who in the face of all his experience of life and of history, will have the courage to dispute this assertion?" --''[[Civilization and Its Discontents]]'' (1930) by Sigmund Freud, tr.
