“Neurosis is a failed perversion.”

Jacques Lacan, Seminar XXII, RSI
Melbourne, Christmas night, 2023

“The more a man devotes himself to just one woman, the more she tends to take on a maternal signification for him: more sublime and untouchable than loved.

And when a woman clings on to one man, she castrates him. So, the path is narrow.”

@jamplus, On Love

“All analysis is a dialectic of desire.”

Jacques Lacan

“We may remember that, while language is essentially blah blah blah, it is nevertheless from language that the subject’s having and being derive.”

“The effect of a drive is never that of a momentary impact, but always that of a constant force.

And because it impinges not from outside, but from inside the body, flight is of no avail against it.”

Sigmund Freud, Drives and Their Vicissitudes

When in love I solicit a look.
What is profoundly unsatisfying,
and always missing, is that
you never look at me from the
place from which I see you.

Jacques Lacan

“At a higher degree than mere ‘seeing’ and ‘being seen’, the imaginary dialectic culminates in ‘offering to view’ and ‘being surprised’ by an unveiling.”

“You should get it into your heads right away that it is dangerous to think you understand.”

[Lacanian Foothold @BTholfsen]

To make oneself the guarantor of the possibility that a subject will in some way be able to find happiness, even in analysis, is a form of fraud. There’s absolutely no reason why we should make ourselves the guarantors of the bourgeois dream.

Lacan, S VII

“What is the mirror stage? It encompasses everything that the child learns from being captivated by his own image, and precisely everything of the distance that lies between his inner tensions & those that are brought out in this relation to his identification with the image.” JL

“And it is within this opposition between fiction and reality that is to be found the rocking motion of Freudian experience.”

Fine writers do psychoanalysis

“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.”

Amir in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, 2003

[Lacan Circle Of Australia @lacancircle]

“The dialogue of life and death becomes dramatic only from that moment when enjoyment intervenes in the equilibrium of life and death. The vital point, the point where a speaking being emerges is this disturbed relationship to one’s own body which is called jouissance.” JL S XIX

[Lacan Circle Of Australia @lacancircle]

“All in all, it’s a matter of how to face up to an impossible situation through the successive articulation of all the different forms of the impossibility of a solution.” Jacques Lacan

[Lacan Circle Of Australia @lacancircle]

Fine philosophers do psychoanalysis

“The strength of a mind might be measured by the amount of ‘truth’ it can endure - or to speak more plainly, by the extent to which it requires it to be diluted, veiled, sweetened, muted and falsified.”

Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, 1886

[Lacan Circle Of Australia @lacancircle]

“A hysteric undermines the master’s position- the pervert acts it out.”

Slavoj Zizek, 1999
