"Anxiety is the only affect that doesn't deceive."

"The real cannot be represented."

"Mortality is what makes meaning possible."

"Being is condemned to be free."

"The Other is always beyond comprehension."

"Speech creates what it names."

"Desire is what remains when demand is satisfied."

"The subject is not the master of language."

"Jouissance cannot be symbolized."

"Time is the dimension of the symbolic."

"Knowledge is always incomplete."

"The wound is never healed, only revised."

"Language alienates being."

"The big Other doesn't exist."

"Imagination is the first stage of consciousness."

"The social bond is fundamental to being."

"Neurosis is the refusal of castration."

"Identification is the first moment of the subject."

"The symptom is what makes us unique."

"Love is always transferred."

"Truth creates reality, not the reverse."

"The analyst must not interpret too quickly."

"Absence is present in all discourse."

"The ego is built on false foundations."

"Language is the condition of the unconscious."

"Being is created through speaking."

"The other is always my unconscious."
