20. Action / B. Preliminaries of Action / 2. Willed Action / b. Volitionism

20304	The cause of my action is in my will [Shakespeare]
	Full Idea: The cause is in my will. I will not come./That is enough to satisfy the senate./But for your private satisfaction,/Because I love you, I will let you know.
	From: William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar [1599], II.ii)
	A reaction: This asserts the purest form of volitionism, but then qualifies it, because Caesar's will has been influenced by his wife's dreams.
