Famous quotes containing the words wool and/or machine:

    After all, the wool of a black sheep is just as warm.
    Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    Above all, however, the machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope ... it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)
