There's probably no one so easily bribed, but he lacks even the fundamental honesty of honorable corruption. He doesn't stay bribed; not for any sum. - Isaac Asimov

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

Vuoi essere libero Andrew? Ti importa molto esserlo?
Andrew disse: -Vorreste essere schiavo, vostro onore?
-Ma tu non sei schiavo. Tu sei un ottimo robot, un genio nel tuo campo, a quanto ho sentito, capace di creazioni artistiche che non hanno uguali. Cosa potresti fare di più se fossi libero?

Forse niente, vostro onore, ma tutto quello che farei lo farei con maggiore gioia. In quest'aula ho sentito dire che solo un essere umano può essere libero. A me pare invece che chiunque lo desideri dovrebbe poter essere libero.
E io voglio la libertà.
