Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre151781.html) (LOL)

Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre151786.html)

Men are strong so long as they represent a strong idea they become powerless when they oppose it.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre133622.html) (wow, he was right on target)

Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits, it is part of my own being.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre162746.html)

One is very crazy when in love.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre151778.html)

The tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man... it constitutes the powerful obstacle to culture.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre143476.html)

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
Sigmund Freud (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/sigmundfre151799.html)

В человеке есть две союзные силы: знание и мудрость. Знание - это
та часть искаженной средой истины, до которой ощупью добирается разум;
мудрость - то, что прозревает в духе око божественного видения.

Ferris Bueller quotes :D

Cameron Frye: The 1961 Ferrari, two-fifty GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion . . .
Ferris Bueller: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferris Bueller: Cameron, dear friend, you thought we wouldn't have any fun. Shame on you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferris Bueller: The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you a good phoney fever is a deadlock, but you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office--that's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then so is high school.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferris Bueller: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferris Bueller: Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his a*s, in two weeks you'd have a diamond.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferris Bueller: This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung. So, I better make this one count.
