Re "Sigmund Freud . . . significant meaning behind his cigar smoking - "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.":
Alas, although it is a great quote Sigmund never said it. In fact, he being a heavy smoker implies that, according to his own pet theory, Freud was an oral type. ORAL PERSONALITY: According to the original theories of psychoanalysis, a personality fixed emotionally in the oral stage of development, whose sexual and aggressive drives are satisfied by putting things in his or her mouth. Depending on when the fixation occurs, oral personalities tend to be either optimistic, generous, and gregarious or aggressive, ambitious, and selfish. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <punditster@...> wrote : On 11/28/2014 8:24 PM, srijau@... mailto:srijau@... wrote: Toronto photographer’s ‘skyline porn’ video goes viral > This search for significant meanings where none are to be found recalls the reply made by Sigmund Freud to overzealous disciples who felt that there must be a significant meaning behind his cigar smoking - "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
