Slavoj Žižek

“That’s why psychoanalysis does not aim at liberating our desires so that we can freely desire what we want (what we want is not what we desire: our innermost desire as a rule appears to us as what we don’t want, what terrifies us)—more precisely, it liberates our desires only in the precise sense that we fully assume the impossibility on which our desiring capacity is grounded.”
