We humans can want
a lot, but of our will we --
are not the master.
Arthur Schopenhauer on human will, in short from a passage in 'Die beiden Grundprobleme der Ethik' (1841): 'Der Mensch kann wohl [/zwar] tun, was er will, aber [er kann] nicht wollen, was er will' ('A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants')
