- 1999, Sigmund Freud, translated by Joyce Crick, The Interpretation of Dreams, Oxford, published 2008, page 182:
- The life of the psyche also has at its disposal wishes whose fulfilment arouses unpleasure [translating Unlust] – which seems a contradiction, but can be explained if we take into account the presence of the two psychical agencies and the censorship prevailing between them.
