" "

but within the next ten years Rossum’s Universal Robots will produce so much wheat, so much cloth, so much everything that things will no longer have any value. Everyone will be able to take as much as he needs. There’ll be no more poverty. Yes, people will be out of work, but by then there’ll be no work left to be done. Everything will be done by living machines. People will do only what they enjoy. They will live only to perfect themselves.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek

... dünya belli ki çöküp sular altında kalacak; ama en azından hepimizin anlayabildiği türden politik ve ekonomik nedenleri olacak bunun, en azından bilim, teknoloji ve kamuoyunun yardımıyla, türlü türlü insan icadının yardımıyla olacak. Kozmik bir felaketle değil, o bildik iktidar mücadelesi, para filan gibi nedenlerle olacak. Yapabileceğimiz bir şey yok bu konuda.

Mankind will endure. In twenty years the world will belong to man again; even if it's only to a couple of savages on the tiniest island ... that'll be a start. And as long as there's some small beginning, that's fine. In a thousand years they'll have caught up to where we are now and then surpass even that ... to accomplish what we only dreamed of.
