Konev was a mental robot, saying only what had been written for him, as though his tongue moved only when wound by a key in the Kremlin.

General Mark Wayne Clark, New York Times, June 5, 1955.Ivan Konev
Why is it so hard to keep the mind concentrated, and to live up to our good resolutions? The problem is the basically mechanical nature of our left-brain consciousness. We have a kind of robot servant who does things for us: we earn to type or drive a car, painfully and consciously, then our robot takes over, and does it far more quickly and efficiently. Because man is the most complex creature on Earth, he is forced to rely on his robot far more than other animals. The result is that, whenever he gets tired, the robot takes over. For the modern city dweller, most of his everyday living is done by the robot. This is why it takes an emergency to concentrate the mind 'wonderfully', and why we forget so quickly.
Colin Wilson
Each factory will be making Robots of a diferent color, a different nationality, a different tongue; that they'll all be different as different from one another as fingerprints; that they'll no longer be able to conspire with one another; and ... we, we people will help to foster their prejudices and cultivate their mutual lack of understanding, you see? So that any given Robot, to the day of its death, right to the grave, will forever hate a Robot bearing the trademark of another factory... Thunder, we'll make Black Robots and Swedish Robots and Italian Robots and Chinese Robots, and then let someone try to drive the notion of brotherhood into the noggin of their organization...
Karel Capek
Anybody who makes speeches written by someone else is just a robot.
Joe Strummer
No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us
All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.Thomas Moore
The wound thats made by fire will heal,
But the wound thats made by tongue will never heal.Thiruvalluvar
