"It's the filthiest trick of all time, sending you here disguised as a man. You a robot. A nothing. A two-legged IBM machine with a victrola attached. Making believe you're a man when you're nothing but a robot. 'I'm a robot.' The soft voice of love was gone and replaced by that of mechanical despair. Thought chased thought through the whirling electronic circuits of his brain and they were all the same thought. 'I'm a robot -- a robot -- I must have forgotten I was a robot -- what can a robot be doing here with a woman -- a robot can't kiss a woman -- a woman can't love a robot -- yet she said she loved me -- yet I'm a robot -- a robot."

From "The Robot Who Wanted to Know."
