The questioning mind
The questioning mind is a dictator satisfied with nothing less than a thousand-year reign. Why should it stop? Why relinquish its hold? It is inherent in the very nature of reflection to resist limitation. The more one tries to restrict it, the more power one gives it; for reflection is suspicious of nothing so much as attempts to quell it. It may lie low for a time, but will blaze back all the fiercer for having been suppressed.
Daniel Taylor, The Myth of Certainty, p. 19
