About this Quote
This quote by Joseph Wood Krutch talks to the idea that knowledge is the source of real marvel. He recommends that it is not an absence of knowledge that results in wonder, but rather an abundance of knowledge. This is since knowledge allows us to comprehend the complexities of the world around us, and to appreciate the charm and mystery of it. It is knowledge that allows us to marvel at the intricacies of nature, the mysteries of deep space, and the power of the human mind. Without knowledge, we would be not able to appreciate the marvels of the world. Krutch's quote encourages us to look for understanding and to use it to appreciate the wonders of the world. By doing so, we can get a deeper understanding of the world and a greater appreciation for its charm.
