Text Quotes
The real is what resists symbolization absolutely  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The evil eye is the fascinum, it is that which has the effect of arresting movement and, literally, of killing life. At the moment the subject stops, suspending his gesture, he is mortified. This anti-life, anti-movement function of the terminal point is the fascinum, and it is precisely one of the dimensions in which the power of the gaze is exercised directly.  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) If psychoanalysis clarifies some facts of sexuality, it is not by aiming at them in their own reality, not in biological experience  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) All sorts of things in this world behave like mirrors  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) ... Desire, a function central to all human experience, is the desire for nothing nameable. And at the same time this desire lies at the origin of every variety of animation. If being were only what it is, there wouldn’t even be room to talk about it. Being comes into existence as an exact function of this lack  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The sentence completes its signification only with its last term  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The reason we go to poetry is not for wisdom, but for the dismantling of wisdom  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Yet, analytical truth is not as mysterious, or as secret, so as to not allow us to see that people with a talent for directing consciences see truth rise spontaneously  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Which is why we cannot say of the purloined letter that, like other objects, it must be or not be in a particular place but that unlike them it will be and not be where it is, wherever it goes  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Love means giving something you don’t have to someone who doesn’t want it  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think. I am not whenever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there’s no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it’s through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Meaning is produced not only by the relationship between the signifier and the signified but also, crucially, by the position of the signifiers in relation to other signifiers  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The unconscious is structured like a language  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The narration, in fact, doubles the drama with a commentary without which no mise en scene would be possible  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Symptoms, those you believe you recognize, seem to you irrational because you take them in an isolated manner, and you want to interpret them directly  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) In other words, the man who is born into existence deals first with language; this is a given. He is even caught in it before his birth  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Aside from that reservation, a fictive tale even has the advantage of manifesting symbolic necessity more purely to the extent that we may believe its conception arbitrary  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) What could be more convincing, moreover, than the gesture of laying one’s cards face up on the table?  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one’s desire  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) The sufferings of neurosis and psychosis are for us a schooling in the passions of the soul, just as the beam of the psychoanalytic scales, when we calculate the tilt of its threat to entire communities, provides us with an indication of the deadening of the passions in society  (Jacques Lacan Quotes) For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence  (Jacques Lacan Quotes)
