Monday's Quotation

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was one of the key figures in the evolution of modern psychiatry, and a rather prolific author. Here's a quote from his book Civilization and Its Discontents:

"The impression forces itself upon one
that men measure by false standards,
that everyone seeks power, success,
riches for himself and admires others
who attain them, while undervaluing
the truly precious things in life."
