Man’s Curious Idiosyncrasy

It is one of man’s curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them. The mysteries that surround him on all sides are not sufficient for him; he still rejects clear ideas and reduces everything to a problem by some inexplicable twist of pride, which makes him regard it as below him to believe what everyone believes.

from Study of Sovereignty by Joseph de Maistre
