View Quote Klaatu:  I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly.  The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated.  There must be security for all or no one is secure.Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom except the freedom to act irresponsibly.Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them.  We of the other planets have long accepted this principle.  We have an organisation for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression.The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it.  For our policemen, we created a race of robots.  Their function is to patrol the planets—in space ships like this one—and preserve the peace.  In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us; this power can not be revoked.At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor.  The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk.The result is that we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war—free to pursue more profitable enterprises.  Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works.I came here to give you these facts.  It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet.  But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.Your choice is simple:  Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration.  We shall be waiting for your answer; the decision rests with you.
View Quote Lawrence Robertson: Susan, just be logical.  Your life's work has been the development and integration of robots.  But whatever you feel, just think.  Is one robot worth the loss of all that we've gained?  You tell me what has to be done.  You tell me.Dr. Susan Calvin: [emotionally] We have to destroy it.  I'll do it myself.Lawrence Robertson: Okay.Detective Del Spooner: I get it.  Somebody gets out of line around here, you just kill them?
View Quote Miles Monroe: [about his robotic dog] Is he housebroken or is he going to leave batteries all over the floor?

View Quote President Marjorie Bota: According to the records at the NorthAm Robotics Company, the robot also known as Andrew Martin, was powered up at 5:15 P.M. on April 3rd, 2005.  In a few hours, he'll be 200 years old, which means that with the exception of Methuselah and other Biblical names, Andrew is the oldest living human in recorded history.  For it is by this proclamation, I validate his marriage to Portia Charney, and acknowledge his humanity.
View Quote Ricky Martin: You're a unique robot, Andrew.  I feel a responsibility to help you become…whatever you're able to be.

View Quote Robot: Will Robinson.  I will tell you a joke.  Why did the robot cross the road?  Because he was carbon bonded to the chicken!Will Robinson: We've got a lot of work to do.
View Quote Robots do not hold on to life.  They can't.  They have nothing to hold on with—no soul, no instinct.  Grass has more will to live than they do.
View Quote Robots of the world!  Many people have fallen.  By seizing the factory we have become the masters of everything.  The age of mankind is over.  A new world has begun!  The rule of Robots!
View Quote Robots of the world, you are ordered to exterminate the human race.  Do not spare the men.  Do not spare the women.  Preserve only the factories, railroads, machines, mines, and raw materials.  Destroy everything else.  Then return to work.  Work must not cease.
