As so often, this just begs for a Nietzsche quote!
…Not to question, not to tremble with the craving and joy of questioning …
that is what I feel to be contemptible, and this feeling is the first thing
I seek in everyone: some foolishness persuades me ever and again that every
human being has this feeling, as a human being. It is my kind of injustice.
