Quote by Jacques Lacan
We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans have the ability to communicate using symbols, even though the objects being referred to may not be directly present or tangible. It acknowledges that while humans may experience a disconnect from the physical world due to the use of symbols, they still possess the capacity to convey meaning and understand each other through this form of communication.
