  BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL 
  CHAPTER I 
  Prejudices of Philosophers 
  The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazard¬ 
  ous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all 
  philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what ques¬ 
  tions has this Will to Truth not laid before us! What 
  strange, perplexing, questionable questions! It is already a 
  long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Is 
  it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, 
  and turn impatiently away? That this Sphinx teaches us 
  at last to ask questions ourselves?
