Special Orders

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or orders:

    There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
    now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is
    all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
