Quote From Freud

Aaron gave me an edition of US News and World Report devoted to "Three Minds that Shaped the 20th Century: Secrets of Genius -- Einstein, Marx, and Freud" I'm home reading it this morning. Today is a day to mine material to use in teaching, art, etc.

Say what you will about Sigmund, he was arguably an influential thinker, and for good reason. To a young analysand, and friend of his daughters, Freud said:

"You know I always liked you very much, but I like you more now that I can see some of your problems."

For those of you who read this, and who get it, I couldn't have said it better. And I think it goes both ways.
