 When something appears to the will as a good, the will desires it, until deliberation and the intellect’s judgment make something else to appear as being better. Thus, when the will is brought towards a good object, it doesn’t pursue it immediately, but it first deliberates about its contrary, its consequences, its accidents and circumstances, and so the discourse of reason can make something, which appeared as good, appear as evil. And this is how free will works. (QEN 60; QE-2008: 322)
