Famous quotes containing the word volition:

    the ocean, under the pulsation of lighthouses and noise of bell
    buoys,
    advances as usual, looking as if it were not that ocean in which
    dropped things are bound to sink—
    in which if they turn and twist, it is neither with volition nor
    consciousness.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
