Flea flies willingly free

Eusebius:


"For surely, by Apollo! thou wilt not rob even the flea of his free will: but the flea will act upon a certain impulse of his own, and being sometimes mixed up with human affairs will make himself the commencement of some new course; and thou art unconsciously consulting this kind of animal."

Tr. Gifford, 1906.

cfr. Heisenberg's studies on fruit flies.
