“The fiction that substitutes par excellence for what does not exist is love. I was saying that love — and this does not seem silly to me — is an anthropological constant. Someone argued that every man (in the generic sense, the exemplar of humanity) knows that he is mortal and knows when he is in love. Love creates an imaginary One, it isolates a single being — when you miss them, everything is depopulated … Love has the property of isolating a One. Obviously, it is an ersatz of the really interesting One, the signifier One, but you are not in love with that one.”
