The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one's desire.
Jacques Lacan
The I is always in the field of the Other.
Jacques Lacan
The Mirror Stage as formative in the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience.
Jacques Lacan
All sorts of things in this world behave like mirrors.
Jacques Lacan
What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?
Jacques Lacan
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
The reason we go to poetry is not for wisdom, but for the dismantling of wisdom
Jacques Lacan
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
But what Freud showed us… was that nothing can be grasped, destroyed, or burnt, except in a symbolic way, as one says, in effigie, in absentia.
Jacques Lacan
The real is what resists symbolization absolutely.
Jacques Lacan
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
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
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
The unconscious is the discourse of the Other.
Jacques Lacan
If psychoanalysis clarifies some facts of sexuality, it is not by aiming at them in their own reality, not in biological experience.
Jacques Lacan
I am there where it is spoken that the universe is a defect in the purity of non-being.
Jacques Lacan
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
Love means giving something you don't have to someone who doesn't want it.
Jacques Lacan
