Soft Determinism

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or determinism:

    Happy ye leaves! whenas those lily hands,
    Which hold my life in their dead-doing might,
    Shall handle you, and hold in love’s soft bands,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.
