For some reason I thought about this passage this evening. It comes from The Birth of Tragedy, written by Nietzsche.
( Nietzsche passage )
It hearkens to the idea that ignorance is bliss. Extreme intelligence, knowledge of nature's secrets, are a curse. When you seek to know answers, you seek your own demise. I find it an interesting corollary with the biblical text of Adam and Eve being punished for eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
