Who said “One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is…”?

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

“Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.”

“There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love -- every man works his oar voluntarily!”

“Will power is only the tensile strength of one's own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.”

“A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.”

“Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”

“The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.”

“Authority has always attracted the lowest elements in the human race. All through history mankind has been bullied by scum. Those who lord it over their fellows and toss commands in every direction and would boss the grass in the meadow about which way to bend in the wind are the most depraved kind of prostitutes. They will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve power. The worst off-sloughings of the planet are the ingredients of sovereignty. Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy the whores are us.”

“Seriousness is stupidity sent to college.”

“You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.”
