Slavoj Žižek

“The third term is not any synthesis of the two but just the pure gap itself, and desire and drive are the two reactions to this gap: desire externalizes the lack into a cause-object, drive circulates around the object. In desire, the gap appears as lack; in drive, it appears as an excess that derails the circulation of life.”
