'We have learned, for example, that the more virtuous a man is the more severe is his super-ego, and that he blames himself for misfortunes for which he is clearly not responsible.'

Sigmund Freud

Freud got so much right in his observations about human nature.

However, I feel his explanations for those impulses said a lot more about him than it did about any of his patients.

I'm looking at you Oedipus. Not to mention the whole phallic, genital, and anal stages thing.
