Slavoj Zizek Quotes

When Do I Actually Encounter The Other 'beyond The Wall Of Language', In The Rel Of His Or Her Being? Not When I Am Able To Describe Her, Not Even When I Learn Her Values, Dreams, And So On, But Only When I Encounter The Other In Her Moment Of Jouissance: When I Discern In Her A Tiny Detail (a Compulsive Gesture, A Facial Expression, A Tic) Which Signals The Intensity Of The Real Of Jouissance. This Encounter With The Real Is Always Traumatic; There Is Something At Least Minimally Obscene About It; I Cannot Simply Integrate It Into My Universe, There Is Always A Gulf Separating Me From It.
