On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia" QUOTES

1 " In mourning it is the world which has become poor and empty; in melancholia it is the ego itself. "

― Sigmund Freud , On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia"

2 " ,,The danger that arises to someone when a love
object is “lost”—through death, or betrayal, or disappointment—is
not primarily the loss of that particular person or institution or ideal;
the danger is to the person’s sense of himself, which depends on his
sense of an ongoing internal attachment to his loved object. "

― Sigmund Freud , On Freud's "Mourning and Melancholia"
