Quote by Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

That which you call your soul or spirit is your conciousness, and that which you call 'free will' is your mind's freedom to think or not, the only will you have, your only freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your life and your character.

That which you call your soul or spirit is your conciousness
