Rick Turner, The eye of the needle, 1980, p. 8

Human beings can choose. They are not sucked into the future by stimuli to which they have to respond in specific ways. Rather human beings are continually making choices. They can stand back and look at alternatives. Theoretically they can choose about anything. They can choose whether to live or to die; they can choose celibacy or promiscuity, voluntary poverty or the pursuit of wealth, ice cream or jelly.
