That one thereby fails to get down deep enough, fails to reach the depths, is the superstition of hydrophobias … Does a thing really remain unintelligible and unrecognized if it is touched, viewed, illumined simply in passing? Does one absolutely have to sit down on it first, to have brooded on it like an egg?” The Gay Science (1887)
