The Discovery of the Unconscious Quotes

“Freud’s life, as embellished by the legend, shows romantic features; Freud’s way of life was that of an aristocrat of the mind who had identified himself with Charcot and Goethe; Adler lived as a petty bourgeois who had identified his cause with that of the people.
When Freud heard of Adler’s death, he wrote to Arnold Zweig: “For a Jew boy out of a Viennese suburb to die in Aberdeen is an unheard-of career in itself and a proof of how far he had got on.”

Could Freud have forgotten that he himself had been “a Jew boy out of a Viennese suburb”?”
