A momentary pleasure, uncertain in its results, is given up, but only in order to gain in the new way an assured pleasure coming later. But the end psychic impression made by this substitution has been so powerful that it is mirrored in a special religious myth. The doctrine of reward in a future life for the—voluntary or enforced—renunciation of earthly lusts is nothing but a mythical projection of this revolution in the mind. In logical pursuit of this prototype, religions have been able to effect the absolute renunciation of pleasure in this life by means of the promise of compensation in a future life; they have not, however, achieved a conquest of the pleasure-principle this way. It is science which comes nearest to succeeding in this conquest; science, however, also offers intellectual pleasure during its work and promises practical gain at the end.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sigmund Freud" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sigmund-freud/actually-the-substitution-of-the-reality-principle-for-the-pleasure/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/323/sigmund-freud-360_afterlife_actually-the-substitution-of-the-reality_29236.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/323/sigmund-freud-360_afterlife_actually-the-substitution-of-the-reality_29236.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/323/sigmund-freud-360_afterlife_actually-the-substitution-of-the-reality_29236.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Actually, the substitution of the reality-principle for the pleasure-principle denotes no dethronement of…” — Sigmund Freud", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 29, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“I’ve heard of delayed gratification, but do you think we could get to the good stuff any time soon.” ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Devon Herrera" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/devon-herrera/i-ve-heard-of-delayed-gratification-but-do-you-think-we-could-get-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b8/devon-herrera-18716_delayed_i-ve-heard-of-delayed-gratification-but_2347622.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b8/devon-herrera-18716_delayed_i-ve-heard-of-delayed-gratification-but_2347622.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b8/devon-herrera-18716_delayed_i-ve-heard-of-delayed-gratification-but_2347622.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I’ve heard of delayed gratification, but do you think we could get to the good stuff any time soon.”” — Devon Herrera", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 30, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Gregor Mendel" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/gregor-mendel/i-am-convinced-that-it-will-not-be-long-before-the-whole-world/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/288/gregor-mendel-42082_acknowledge_i-am-convinced-that-it-will-not-be-long_441777.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/288/gregor-mendel-42082_acknowledge_i-am-convinced-that-it-will-not-be-long_441777.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/288/gregor-mendel-42082_acknowledge_i-am-convinced-that-it-will-not-be-long_441777.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.” — Gregor Mendel", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 31, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Ivy still had her tree up in the living room, and we exchanged presents when we felt like it, not on a specific date.
