Joseph Wood Krutch
Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.

Security depends not so much upon how much you have, as upon how much you can do without.
Joseph Wood Krutch
The most serious charge which can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.

Joseph ConradFor the great mass of mankind, the only saving grace needed is a steady fidelity to what is nearest to hand and heart for the short moment of each human effort. Joseph ConradHaving had to encounter single-handed during his period of eclipse many physical dangers, he was well aware of the most dangerous element common to them all: of the crushing, paralysing sense of human littleness, which is what really defeats a human struggling with natural forces, alone, far from the eyes of his fellows.

Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
