“Narcissus
is not located in the objectal or sexual dimension. He does not love
youths of either sex, he loves neither men nor women. He Loves, he
loves Himself–active and passive, subject and
object. The
object of Narcissus is psychic space; it is representation itself,
fantasy.
But he does not know it, and he dies. If he knew it he would be an
intellectual, a creator of speculative fiction, an artist, writer,
psychologist, psychoanalyst.” – Kristeva, Tales
of Love
(p. 116)
