"What really is this willed truth in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this will, until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. Granted that we want the truth, why not rather untruth, and uncertainty, even ignorance?" "Which of us is the edopus here, which the sphinx? It would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation," he says.
