Joseph Wood Krutch
Security depends not so much upon how much you have, as upon how much you can do without.
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
Rhetoric takes no real account of the art in literature and morality takes no account of the art in life.
Joseph Wood Krutch
To be reminded that one is very much like other members of the animal kingdom is often funny...though...I do not too much mind being somewhat like a cat.
Joseph Wood Krutch

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
In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Those whose conscience demands that they defy authority in some ways that involve great consequences must be willing to accept some penalty.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Nature takes no account of even the most reasonable of human excuses.
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
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
It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.
Joseph Wood Krutch
When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman.
