It is not enough to render things equal to the will, that they are equal or alike in themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The direction and constancy of the will is what really matters, and intellect and feeling are only important insofar as they contribute to that.
A creative element is surely present in all great systems, and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Dreams seem to have a will of their own.
I'm more interested in seeing what the material tells me than in imposing my will on it.
What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.
The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
To the perfect, if it be perfect, there is nothing that can be added; therefore, the will is not capable of any other desire, when that which is of the perfect is present with it, highest and best.
But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy behavior, comes from quantum mechanical indeterminacy.
Will is nothing more than a particular case of the general doctrine of association of ideas, and therefore a perfectly mechanical thing.
