“For once desire is articulated in words it does not sit still, but displaces, drifting metonymically from one thing to the next. Desire is a product of language and cannot be satisfied with an object.”
Bruce Fink, A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Theory and Technique

Margaret Drabble
“I did not realize the dreadful facts of life. I did not know that a pattern forms before we are aware of it, and that what we think we make becomes a rigid prison making us.”
Margaret Drabble, The Millstone

Georgia   Scott
“Before there is science, there are stories to explain the world. They make it happier somehow.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

Arthur Schopenhauer
“A man is never happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something that he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbour with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he is happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism: The Essays

Robert Jones Jr.
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
Robert Jones Jr.
