In reality the Stoics were reluctant to accept such an arrangement, and attempted to get around the difficulty by defining free will as a voluntary accommodation to what is in any case inevitable.

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
