Joseph Wood Krutch
Anxiety and distress, interrupted occasionally by pleasure, is the normal course of man's existence.
Joseph Wood Krutch
When, in the present world, men behave well, that is no doubt sometimes because they are creatures of habit as well as, sometimes, because they are reasonable.
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
