"We always understand too much, especially in analysis. Most of the time, we're fooling ourselves. One thinks one can do a good therapeutic analysis if one is gifted, intuitive, when one has made contact, if one puts to work the genius which each person deploys in an interpersonal relation. And from the moment one doesn't demand extereme conceptual rigour of oneself, one always finds some way to understand."

reading lacan is kinda like reading milton because sometimes he seems to be so self aggrandizing but he really is every bit as good as he imagines himself to be
