About this Quote

Sigmund Freud's quote about America is a reflection of his downhearted outlook on the country's future. He thought that America was an ambitious experiment, however he feared that it would not be successful. Freud's quote implies that America's grand aspirations might be too enthusiastic which the country may not have the ability to live up to its own expectations. He might have been concerned about the nation's absence of unity and the potential for conflict between various groups.

Freud's quote is a pointer that America's success is not guaranteed which it is very important to remain vigilant and collaborate to ensure its success.
