Quotes from Viggo Mortensen's Characters

View All
    1. Sigmund Freud: Your letter cannot be answered. Your claim that I treat my friends like patients is self evidently untrue. As to which of us is the neurotic, I thought on this we agreed that a little neurosis was nothing whatever to be ashamed of. But a man like you, who behaves quite abnormally and then stands there shouting at the top of his voice how normal he is, does give considerable cause for concern. For a long time now, our relationship has been hanging by a thread, and a thread moreover, mostly consisting of past disappointments. We have nothing to lose by cutting it.
    From A Dangerous Method. Submitted by Victor M (43 days ago)
    1. Carl Jung: There are so many mysteries, so much further to go.
    2. Sigmund Freud: Please, we can't be too careful! We can't afford to wonder into these speculative areas. Telepathy! Singing bookcases! Fairies at the bottom of the garden. It won't do! It won't do.
    From A Dangerous Method. Submitted by Victor M (43 days ago)
