Obsessional does not necessar...

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 58 quotes

The real is what resists symb...

The real is what resists symbolization absolutely.

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

...Desire, a function central...

...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 58 quotes

The sufferings of neurosis an...

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 58 quotes

Love means giving something y...

Love means giving something you don't have to someone who doesn't want it.

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

I think where I am not, there...

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 58 quotes

The only thing of which one c...

The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one's desire.

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

I identify myself in language...

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 58 quotes

Meaning is produced not only ...

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 58 quotes

I always speak the truth. Not...

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 58 quotes

If psychoanalysis clarifies s...

If psychoanalysis clarifies some facts of sexuality, it is not by aiming at them in their own reality, not in biological experience.

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

What could be more convincing...

What could be more convincing, moreover, than the gesture of laying one's cards face up on the table?

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

Symptoms, those you believe y...

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 58 quotes

Aside from that reservation, ...

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 58 quotes

Psychoanalysis is a terribly ...

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 58 quotes

In other words, the man who i...

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 58 quotes

What does it matter how many ...

What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

A geometry implies the hetero...

A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

But this emphasis would be la...

But this emphasis would be lavished in vain, if it served, in your opinion, only to abstract a general type from phenomena whose particularity in our work would remain the essential thing for you, and whose original arrangement could be broken up only artificially.

Jacques Lacan 58 quotes

Yet, analytical truth is not ...

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.
