“What we are dealing with here is another version of the Lacanian 'il n'y a pas de rapport ...': if, for Lacan, there is no sexual relationship, then, for Marxism proper, there is no relationship between economy and politics, no 'meta-language' enabling us to grasp the two levels from the same neutral standpoint, although—or, rather, because—these two levels are inextricably intertwined.”
“Il n'y a pas de rapport sexuel.”
“Sexual relationships are about creating a personal level of cohesiveness.”
“Il n'y a pas de hors-texte.”
“When we are offended in our relationship our feelings generally move through 4 stages: hurt anger revenge destructive action psychosomic symptoms depression. One of the best ways to neutralize the cycle is to force ourselves back to the source of hurt and deal with the problem at that level.”
“there is a relationship between the mind and the body that can both create a physical condition and enable us to recover from it”
