From Lacan, in a lecture he gave at Johns Hopkins in 1966:
When I began to teach something about Psychoanalysis I lost some of my audience, because I had perceived long before then the simple fact that if you open a book of Freud, and particularly those books which are properly about the unconscious, you can be absolutely sure it is not a probability but a certitude to fall on a page where it is not only a question of words naturally in a book there are always words many printed words but words which are the object through which one seeks for a way to handle the unconscious. Not even the meaning of the words, but words in their flesh, in their material aspect (fromLacan.com)
