""Im Moment, da man nach Sinn und Wert des Lebens fragt, ist man krank, denn beides gibt es ja in objektiver Weise nicht; man hat nur eingestanden, daß man einen Vorrat von unbefriedigender Libido hat, und irgend etwas anderes muß damit vorgefallen sein, eine Art Gärung, die zur Trauer und Depression führt." Brief an Marie Bonaparte vom 13. August 1937, in: Briefe 1873–1939, Frankfurt a.M. 1960, S. 429. (Zweite, erweiterte Auflage, 1968, S. 452.)"
