Komunální politika většinou rezignovaně odumírá na malé poměry. Lokální ctižádost přestává existovat, tak jako už neexistuje a neroste ivančický chře… - Karel Čapek

Everything is done for! All of humanity! The whole world!. ... Look, look, streams of blood on every doorstep! Streams of blood from every house! Oh, God, God, who's responsible for this?

It means that each factory will be making Robots of a different color, a different nationality, a different tongue; they'll all be different — -as different from one another as fingerprints; they'll no longer be able to conspire with one another; and we — -we people will help to foster their prejudices and cultivate their mutual lack of understanding, you see? So that any given Robot, to the day of its death, right to the grave, will forever hate a Robot bearing the trademark of another factory.

We've become beings with souls... Something struggles within us. There are moments when something gets into us. Thoughts come to us which are not our own... People are our fathers! The voice that cries out that you want to live; the voice that complains; the voice that reasons; the voice that speaks of eternity — that is their voice!
