“I speak without knowing it. I speak with my body and I do so unbeknownst to myself. Thus I always say more than I know.
This is where I arrive at the meaning of the word "subject" in analytic discourse. What speaks without knowing it makes me "I," subject of the verb. That doesn't suffice to bring me into being. That has nothing to do with what I am forced to put in — enough knowledge for it to hold up, but not one drop more.”
