Slavoj Zizek Quote
If Substance is Life, is the Subject not Death? Insofar as, for Hegel, the basic feature of pre-subjective Life is the spurious infinity of the eternal reproduction of the life substance through the incessant movement of the generation and corruption of its elements—that is, the spurious infinity of a repetition without progress—the ultimate irony we encounter here is that Freud, who called this excess of death over life the death drive, conceived it precisely as repetition, as a compulsion to repeat.
