Domo arigato. :-)

[falcongrrl]

This is for a homework I've done for my art class: anyone have quotes related to robots? So far I have "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." I'll google, but I also wanted to see what you guys could come up with. (Basically, I've made a robot out of collage materials and I'm going to be outlining his head, and possibly his body, with tiny words.)

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." -- Roy Batty from Blade Runner

All I can think of is Marvin (the robot with GPP) in Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Some of my favorites (which may not help but are great fun to read):

"My capacity for happiness," he added, "you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first."

or

"I ache, therefore I am."

or

"Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it," said Marvin.
"And what happened?" pressed Ford.
"It committed suicide," said Marvin and stalked off back to the Heart of Gold.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
