“For Lacan claims that “one is always responsible for one’s position as subject.” His concept of the subject thus has an ethical component that finds its founding principle in Freud’s “Wo Es war, soll Ich werden.””

- Bruce Fink (The Lacanian Subject)

“I here appears as the subject that analysis aims to bring forth: an I that assumes responsibility for the unconscious, that arises there in the unconscious linking up of thoughts which seems to take place all by itself, without the intervention of anything like a subject.”

“I must become I where “it” was or reigned; I must come to be, must assume its place, that place where “it” was.”
