“We are in language, and I do not believe myself capable of telling you why we are, nor of telling you how it began.
It is perhaps possible that the human animal fabricated language one day.
We do not have the least trace of what could be called the invention of it.
As far into the past as we can see it function, it is language itself that covers the cobble stones.
Well then, you will say to me, what does this have to do with psychoanalysis? It has to do with it in the most direct way, because if one does not begin at this level, the level of departure, one can do absolutely nothing more in the psychoanalytic experience.”
Jacques Lacan, 1972
