someone wants to be the signifier of his desire. In a similar way, an image that he likes is also a signifier of his desire, insofar as there is something about this painting that makes him symptomatically like it.

Children learn to speak, not when they can utter words but when they can lie: that is, know things and do things that the Other doesn’t know about.

The psychoanalyst is the empty vessel, the listener supposed to listen through whom we are coming to terms with the lack at the centre of subjectivity
Psychoanalysis is language based, it is a working through, and this happens through language. How can one work with language? By having the analyst present as the locus that gives my language a direction as if it gives the lack of myself and the lack of language a locus or a meaning through which one can arrive at being okay with lack + with lack of meaning.

Language itself alienates us, as we must exist within its parameters ..but we must also ..make ourselves distinct from them, since otherwise we would belong body + soul to the Other.

“Being partially exiled from the social order dominated by men, the feminine subject ..seeks to fit in, ..tries to express herself in language ..and looks for love. ..She is hyper-articulate because she is fixated on the symbolic order that partially excludes her.

The quest for jouissance—for absolute consistency, Oneness, or satisfaction—sets language on the paradoxical path of seeking to fulfill desire

The veil of representation actually conceals nothing; there is nothing behind representation.
representation seems to hide, to put an arbored screen of signifiers in front of something hidden beneath - JOAN COPJEC
A truth of the signified occupies the Real. We can only grasp towards it with a signifier. But signifiers function only within a symbolic system that never fully grasps signifieds, able only to refer to other signifiers
