"Free will. It's like butterfly wings: once touched, they never get off the ground. No, I only set the stage. You pull your own strings." ~ John Milton

"This doctrine, that of the ghost in the machine, strictly separates the mind or soul from the body. And by doing so it takes the soul outside the sphere of mechanical or scientific explanation. It splits the world of the mind from the world of science. It is often supposed to protect our cherished free will." ~ Simon Blackburn
