Quotes by David Kishik  (?)

“Mourning the dead led the living, as it often does, to come to terms with their own existence. Following Joyce, Benjamin sensed that this quintessentially modern trauma (the steam engine, that machine of progress, can also be a machine of mass destruction) presaged what the new century held in store.”
David Kishik, The Manhattan Project: A Theory of a City

“Like unfinished manuscripts, human beings are open-ended; they never stop reading what remains to be written in the incomplete book of life.”
David Kishik, The Power of Life: Agamben and the Coming Politics
