There's no way we can raise a positronic brain one inch above the level of perfect materialism. "We can't, damn it, we can't. Not as long as we don't understand what makes our own brains tick. Not as long as things exist that science can't measure. What is beauty, or goodness, or art, or love, or God? We're forever teetering on the brink of the unknowable, and trying to understand what can't be understood. It's what makes us men."

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov

Un robot no puede lastimar
a la humanidad o, por falta de acción, permitir que la humanidad sufra daños.
La considero ahora la ley Cero de la Robótica. La primera ley debería decir: Un robot no debe dañar a un ser humano, o permitir, por inacción, que el ser
humano sufra algún daño, a menos que tal acción viole la ley Cero de la
Robótica.
