Lacan, Jacques

"The unconscious is structured like a language."

"I am not what I am."

"The symptom is a metaphor."

"Love is giving what you don't have."

"The real is what resists symbolization absolutely."

"There is no such thing as a sexual relationship."

"The subject is constituted in language."

"Man's desire is the desire of the Other."

"Speech is an act."

"The phallus is not an image or an object."

"Psychoanalysis is a practice, not a theory."

"The letter always arrives at its destination."

"A father's responsibility does not end at procreation."

"Castration is not imaginary."

"The Other is always elsewhere."

"Knowledge is what allows you to continue."

"Lack is the driving force of all human activity."

"The ego is not master in its own house."

"Desire is always the desire of the Other."

"Language divides being."

"The symbolic order precedes the individual."

"Meaning is created in the gaps between words."

"The truth always comes as a surprise."

"Names are the death of things."

"The unconscious is the other scene."

"Freedom is enslaved to the real."

"Love changes its object into a subject."

"The cure is to make the unconscious conscious."

"Being and nothingness are the same."

"The father is always symbolic."
