“We know not whether laws be right
Or whether laws be wrong
All we know who lie in gaol
Is that the walls are strong
And each day is like a year
A year whose days are long.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

“The true free-will ain't a matter of choosing one of many choices...
but of creating variety of options, then deciding the best choice of all.”
― Toba Beta, Master of Stupidity

“You say: I am not free. But I have raised and lowered my arm. Everyone understands that this illogical answer is an irrefutable proof of freedom.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“And all men kill the thing they love,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!”
Ballad of Reading Gaol, 1898”
― Oscar Wilde
