“It is as if I were in a ship where I am allowed to walk about the pass along the gangways or among the benches, but this petty movement is not at all significant enough to hinder the ship's course. So it is in this fatal bark that bears us all along: our wills are permitted to run one way or another, not to turn the ship from its course or stop it.” — Justus Lipsius
