"I do not believe in free will"
- Albert Einstein, PhD, theoretical physicist

“I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will. The Jews believe in free will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine philosophically. In that respect I am not a Jew.”
- Albert Einstein (1928), “Interview with George Viereck” [2]

“I do not believe in free will. Schopenhauer's words: 'Man can do what he wants, but he cannot will what he wills,' accompany me in all situations throughout my life and reconcile me with the actions of others, even if they are rather painful to me. This awareness of the lack of free will keeps me from taking myself and my fellow men too seriously as acting and deciding individuals, and from losing my temper.”
- Albert Einstein (1932), “My Credo”, Aug [5]

“Objectively, there is, after all, no free will.” 
- Albert Einstein (1946), "Letter to Otto Juliusburger", Apr 11

"There is no free will, but don’t worry."
- Sabine Hossenfelder, PhD, theoretical physicist

"I Don't Think We Have Any Free Will Whatsoever"
"The world is not deterministic; there’s no free will"
- Robert Sapolsky, PhD, Stanford Professor

"You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do."
- Sam Harris, PhD, philosopher

"Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a kind as the author pleases to make it. If short, of a short one; if long, of a long one. If it is his pleasure you should act a poor man, a cripple, a governor, or a private person, see that you act it naturally. For this is your business, to act well the character assigned you; to choose it is another's."
- Epictetus, Greek philosopher

"It's not your fault."
- Sean Maguire - Robin Williams - Good Will Hunting

Note: There being no free will doesn't mean the future is predictable or pre-destined, but it just means we have about as much free will and control as a quarter has about whether it'll land heads or tails, as it's flipping through the air, spinning around the earth, circling around the sun, flying across the universe through time and space.
