|  Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists. | | Human beings and their actions constitute the advancing front, the surging crest of an ongoing movement that never stops. | | The dynamic, creative present, however conditioned and restricted by the effects of prior presents, possesses genuine initiative. | | Most men, I am convinced, have an unmistakable feeling at the final moment of significant choice that they are making a free decision, that they can really decide which one of two or more roads to follow. | | True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one's true character, to be altogether one's self, to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion. | | I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice. | | The cause-effect sequences in our brains are just as determining, just as inescapable, as anywhere else in Nature. | | The intuition of free will gives us the truth. | | The act of willing this or that, of choosing among various courses of conduct, is central in the realm of ethics. |
