“You don't need free will to determine that twice two is four. That's not what I call free will.”
“Two times two will be four even without my will. Is that what you call man's free will?”
“But gentlemen, what sort of free choice will there be when it comes down to tables and arithmetic, when all that’s left is two times two makes four? Two times two makes four even without my will. Is that what you call free choice?"— Fyodor Dostoyevsky”
“I am an octopus on four wheels. What are my four free arms for? To better love you, of course.”
“What's important is that twice two is four and all the rest's nonsense.”
“But twice-two-makes-four is for all that a most insupportable thing. Twice-two-makes-four is, in my humble opinion, nothing but a piece of impudence. Twice-two-makes-four is a farcical, dressed-up fellow who stands across your path with arms akimbo and spits at you.”
