Famous quotes containing the words comparison, domestic and/or robots:

    “Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “As our domestic fowls are said to have their original in the wild pheasant of India, so our domestic thoughts have their prototypes in the thoughts of her philosophers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.”
    —Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
