Quote by Sigmund Freud

The goal of all life is death.

The goal of all life is death.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Sigmund Freud, suggests that the ultimate destiny or purpose of all living beings is death. It reflects Freud's psychoanalytic theory, which posits that the primary instinctual drives of human beings are related to a desire for destruction and eventual annihilation. According to Freud, the various desires and motivations we experience throughout life ultimately serve to lead us toward our inevitable demise. Thus, this quote encapsulates the notion that death is an inescapable part of the human condition and represents the unconscious driving force behind our existence.
