- Finally to pose questions with a hammer, and sometimes to hear as a reply that famous hollow sound that can only come from bloated entrails — what a delight for one who has ears even behind his ears ... before whom just that which would remain silent must finally speak out.
— Friedrich Nietzsche, from Twilight of the Idols [Die Götzen Dämmerung] (1888) -

- "Old ideas give way slowly ... They are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of aversion and preference. ... In fact, intellectual progress usually occurs through sheer abandonment of questions ... We do not solve them; we get over them."
—John Dewey, "The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy" (1910) -
