Orders

Famous quotes containing the word orders:

    Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Punishment may make us obey the orders we are given, but at best it will only teach an obedience to authority, not a self-control which enhances our self-respect.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
