Joseph Wood Krutch
The wilderness and the idea of wilderness is one of the permanent homes of the human spirit.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The human mind can appreciate the One only by seeing it first in the Many.
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
Being the inventor of sex would seem to be a sufficient distinction for a creature just barely large enough to be seen by the naked eye.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Anxiety and distress, interrupted occasionally by pleasure, is the normal course of man's existence.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Both the cockroach and the bird would get along very well without us, although the cockroach would miss us most.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned.
