Paul Henri Thiry D'Holbach Quotes
If In The Heat Of The Dispute He Insists And Asks, 'Am I Not The Master Of Throwing Myself Out Of The Window?' I Shall Answer Him, No; That Whilst He Preserves His Reason There Is No Probability That The Desire Of Proving His Free Agency, Will Become A Motive Sufficiently Powerful To Make Him Sacrifice His Life To The Attempt: If, Notwithstanding This, To Prove He Is A Free Agent, He Should Actually Precipitate Himself From The Window, It Would Not Be A Sufficient Warranty To Conclude He Acted Freely, But Rather That It Was The Violence Of His Temperament Which Spurred Him On To This Folly. Madness Is A State, That Depends Upon The Heat Of The Blood, Not Upon The Will. A Fanatic Or A Hero, Braves Death As Necessarily As A More Phlegmatic Man Or A Coward Flies From It.
