Sigmund Freud skriver videre til sin venn Wilhelm Fliess om sin egen tilstand. Han har fremdeles stor tiltro til den høyt elskede vennen og kollegaen.

Sigmund Freud skriver til sin venn Wilhelm Fliess i Berlin (her gjengitt i engelsk oversettelse -- originalen er på tysk):

With regard to my own ailment, I would like you to continue to be right. -- that the nose may have a large share in it and the heart a small one."
