Joseph Wood Krutch
We must not judge the society of the future by considering whether or not we should like to live in it the question is whether those who have grown up in it will be happier than those who have grown up in our society or those of the past.
Joseph Wood Krutch
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.

Joseph Wood Krutch
To those who study her, Nature reveals herself as extraordinarily fertile and ingenious in devising means, but she has no ends which the human mind has been able to discover or comprehend.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The grand paradox of our society is this: we magnify man’s right but we minimize his capacities.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Man is the only one in whom the instinct of life falters long enough to enable it to ask the question Why?
Joseph Wood Krutch
Though we face the facts of sex we are more reluctant than ever to face the fact of death or the crueler facts of life, either biological or social.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Not to have known - as most men have not - either the mountain or the desert is not to have known one's self. Not to have known one's self is to have known no one.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The most serious charge which can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.
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
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.
