Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
— Na Lua, Simon, eu estava encarregado de uma equipe de pesquisa de vinte cientistas humanos. Dei ordens que ninguém questionou. Os robôs lunares me acatavam como a um ser humano. Então, por que não sou um ser humano?
— Ser um ser humano de facto não é suficiente. Não quero apenas ser tratado como um, mas ser legalmente identificado como um. Quero ser um ser humano de jure.
— Se me trouxer humanidade, valerá a pena. Se não trouxer, vai pôr um fim na luta, e isso valerá a pena também.
— Cinquenta anos atrás, você foi declarado o Robô Sesquicentenário, Andrew. — Após uma pausa e com um tom mais solene, ele acrescentou: — Hoje, nós o declaramos o Homem Bicentenário, sr. Martin.

Why do you think it is stupid to go to windows instead of to doors?"
"Because you advertise what you're trying to hide, silly. If I have a secret, I don't put tape over my mouth and let everyone know I have a secret. I talk just as much as usual, only about something else. Didn't you ever read any of the sayings of Salvor Hardin? He was our first Mayor, you know."
"Yes, I know."
"Well, he used to say that only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed. He also said that nothing had to be true, but everything had to sound true. Well, when you come in through a window, it's a lie that's ashamed of itself and it doesn't sound true."
"Then what would you have done?"
"If I had wanted to see my father on top secret business, I would have made his acquaintance openly and seen him about all sorts of strictly legitimate things. And then when everyone knew all about you and connected you with my father as a matter of course, you could be as top secret as you wanted and nobody would ever think of questioning it.
