God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

Niccolo Machiavelli, Italian Writer (1469-1527)

But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy behavior, comes from quantum mechanical indeterminacy.

Murray Gell Mann, American Physicist (1929- )

I live in sin, to kill myself I live; no longer my life my own, but sin's; my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.

Michelangelo, Italian Artist (1475-1564)

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Jawaharlal Nehru, Indian Leader (1889-1964)

The psychology of a language which, in one way or another, is imposed upon one because of factors beyond one's control, is very different from the psychology of a language which one accepts of one's free will.

Edward Sapir, American Scientist (1884-1939)

We must believe in free will, we have no choice.

Isaac Bashevis Singer, American Novelist (1904-1991)

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

Charles Spurgeon, British Clergyman (1834-1892)
