More quotes by Joseph Wood Krutch
August creates as she slumbers, replete and satisfied.
Joseph Wood Krutch
To have passed through life and never experienced solitude is to have never known oneself. To have never known oneself is to have never known anyone.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Nothing is too great or too good to be true. Do not believe that we can imagine things better than they are. In the long run, in the ultimate outlook, in the eye of the Creator, the possibilities of existence, the possibilities open to us, are beyond our imagination.
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
Any euphemism ceases to be euphemistic after a time and the true meaning begins to show through. It's a losing game, but we keep on trying.
Joseph Wood Krutch

Joseph Wood Krutch
The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only.
Joseph Wood Krutch

Joseph Wood Krutch
Every time a value is born, existence takes on a new meaning every time one dies, some part of that meaning passes away.
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.
Joseph Wood Krutch
In history as it comes to be written, there is usually some Spirit of the Age which historians can define, but the shape of things is seldom so clear to those who live them. To most thoughtful men it has generally seemed that theirs was an Age of Confusion.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There are some optimists who search eagerly for the skunk cabbage which in February sometimes pushes itself up through the ice, and who call it a sign of spring. I wish that I could feel that way about it, but I do not. The truth of the matter, to me, is simply that skunk cabbage blooms in the winter time.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Poetry, mythology, and religion represent the world as man would like to have it, while science represents the world as he gradually comes to discover it.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The human mind can appreciate the One only by seeing it first in the Many.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There is no such thing as a dangerous woman there are only susceptible men.
Joseph Wood Krutch
If we are deprived of hope as well as fear, we are compensated by being given an almost endless patience for enduring or simply for waiting.
Joseph Wood Krutch
In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned.
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
The cockroach and the bird were both here long before we were. Both could.
