Choice

“I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.”
– Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

  1. While interesting, I’d counter with this quote from Sam Harris, regarding free will:

    “A person’s conscious thoughts, intentions, and efforts at every moment are preceded by causes of which he is unaware. What is more, they are preceded by deep causes—genes, childhood experience, etc.—for which no one, however evil, can be held responsible. Our ignorance of both sets of facts gives rise to moral illusions.”

  2. Hmm, I like both quotes presented here.
