Quotes by David Michael Kleinberg-Levin (?)

“Our age,” says Kierkegaard, “will remind one of the dissolution of the Greek city-state: everything goes on as usual, and yet there is no longer anyone who believes in it. The invisible spiritual bond which gave it validity no longer exists, and so the whole age is at once comic and tragic—tragic because it is perishing, comic because it goes on.”2 Beckett’s works, at once tragic and comic in just this sense, are indeed works of and for our time.”
― David Michael Kleinberg-Levin, Beckett's Words: The Promise of Happiness in a Time of Mourning

“In the clearing, world and earth are in interaction: earth is the ground on which the world is built, and world is that within which the earth is given its meaning as grounding. Earth and world are in incessant, endless strife, the earth ever reclaiming for itself, reducing to earth, what the world builds upon it, whereas the world struggles with the earth, and against the earth, to make it serve human purposes. But it is only in the world that the earth receives meaning; and it is only in relation to the earth that we can fully understand not only the fragility and power of our world but also the frightening vulnerability of our grounding and building on the earth—and can harvest some meaning in our fated mortality.”
― David Kleinberg-Levin, Heidegger's Phenomenology of Perception: An Introduction
