““Willpower: "This virtue, like moste virtues, is ambiguity itself. People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue t obelieve this by becoming specialists in self-deception. Their decisons are not really decisions at all - a real decision makes one humble, one knows that it is at the mercy of more things than can be named - but elaborate systems of evaion, of illusion, designed to make themselves and the world appear to be what they and the world are not.””
