A Dangerous Method quotes

Doctor

I feel you may have a little too much time on your hands. I'm a great believer in getting our patients involved in some productive work. What are your particular interests?

Spielrein

Suicide. Interplanetary travel.

Freud

I have simply opened a door. It's for the young men like yourself to walk through it. I'm sure you have many more doors to open for us. Of course, there's the added difficulty, more ammunition for our enemies, that all of us here in Vienna, in our psychoanalytical circle, are Jews.

Jung

I don't see what difference that makes.

Freud

That, if I may say so, is an exquisitely Protestant remark.

Gross

It seems to me the measure of the true perversity of the human race, that one of its very few reliably pleasurable activities should be the subject of so much hysteria and repression.

Jung

I can only tell you that she's rather disorganized, emotionally generous, and exceptionally idealistic.

Freud

Well, perhaps it's a Russian thing.

Spielrein

I somehow imagined you'd have found another admirer by now.

Jung

No. You were the jewel of great price.

Spielrein

Perhaps true sexuality demands the destruction of the ego.

Spielrein

When my father brought me to you I was very ill and my illness was sexual. It's clear that the subject I'm studying is entirely grounded in sexuality so naturally I'm becoming more and more acutely aware of the fact that I have no sexual experience.

Jung

Law students are not normally expected to rob banks.

Freud

Experiences like this, however painful, are necessary and inevitable; without them, how can we know life?

Freud

I think perhaps you should entertain the possibility that it represents the penis.

Jung

My love for you was the most important thing in my life. For better or worse, it made me understand who I am.

Jung

Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable... just to be able to go on living.

Jung

There must be more than one hinge into the universe.

Jung
[about military service]

It's a complete waste of my time. Writing prescriptions for athlete's foot and examining **** from morning till night.
