More quotes by Joseph Wood Krutch

Joseph Wood Krutch
Long before I ever saw the desert I was aware of the mystical overtones which the observation of nature made audible to me. But I have never been more frequently or more vividly aware of them than in connection with the desert phenomena.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Rhetoric takes no real account of the art in literature and morality takes no account of the art in life.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The impulse to mar and to destroy is as ancient and almost as nearly universal as the impulse to create. The one is an easier way than the other of demonstrating power.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Only those within whose own consciousness the sun rise and set, the leaves burgeon and wither, can be said to be aware of what living is.
Joseph Wood Krutch
It is disastrous to own more of anything than you can possess, and it is one of the most fundamental laws of human nature that our power actually to possess is limited.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Metaphysics may be, after all, only the art of being sure of something that is not so and logic only the art of going wrong with confidence.
