Quote by Sigmund Freud
...perhaps the hopes I have confessed to are of an illusory nature, too. But I hold fast to one distinction. Apart from the fact that no penalty is imposed for not sharing them, my illusions are not, like religious ones, incapable of correction.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker acknowledges that their hopes may also be illusions or unrealistic expectations. However, they make a clear distinction between their illusions and religious beliefs. Unlike religious beliefs, which often require strict adherence without questioning or room for correction, the speaker's illusions are open to correction and do not carry societal penalties for differing viewpoints. The speaker implies that they still hold onto their illusions as they can be adjusted or discarded based on new knowledge, unlike religious beliefs that are often ingrained and unquestionable.
