objet a

The moment the subject attains its desired object, the objet a disappears. The full frontal view of the object-cause of desire reduces it to a void. “Far from accentuating to the extreme the situation of the frustrated desire, of the desire deprived of its object, melancholy stands for the presence of the object itself deprived of our desire for it - melancholy occurs when we finally get the desired object, but are disappointed at it.” - Slavoj Zizek, How To Read Lacan politicsprettygirlsphotography: (via suicidewatch)
