“le moi est avant tout une instance de maitrise. C est un système de défense au service du principe de plaisir contre le dehors, mais aussi contre ces pulsions intimes et étrangères a la fois qui nous habitent.
Ce sont ces remparts qu il s agit d abattre, ce barrage contre le pacifique qu il faut ruiner.
Disons-le autrement, le moi est une organisation pour résister a la passivité essentielle du sujet a l égard de l autre. Le moi est foncièrement résistance a Dieu.”
