Famous quotes containing the words seizure and/or freedom:
“Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not yet begun

Or to seal up the sun.”

“Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. It did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. Nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.”
—William James (18421910)
