Notable quotes (three of the editor's notes are on these quotes):

"We see that we can never understand the true nature of reality."

"If these worldlines have a real existence in a real continuum, the whole history of the universe, future as well as past, is already irrevocably fixed."

"Thus free-will is only our name for unconscious determinism. "
