“I believe we accept too indifferently the fact of infantile amnesia that is, the failure of memory for the first years of our lives and fail to find in it a strange riddle. We forget of what great intellectual accomplishments and of what complicated emotions a child of four years is capable.”
― Sigmund Freud, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life
“We really ought to wonder why the memory of later years has, as a rule, retained so little of these psychic processes especially as we have every reason for assuming that these same forgotten childhood activities have not glided off without leaving a trace in the development of the person.”
― Sigmund Freud, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life
