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
Rhetoric takes no real account of the art in literature and morality takes no account of the art in life.
Joseph Wood Krutch
What a man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants.
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
Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.
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

Joseph Wood Krutch
If only the fit survive and if the fitter they are the longer they survive, then Volvox must have demonstrated its superb fitness more conclusively than any higher animal ever has.
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.
