Quote #10

"And that is all," said Dr. Calvin, rising. "I saw it from the beginning, when the poor robots couldn't speak, to the end, when they stand between mankind and destruction. I will see no more. My life is over. You will see what comes next." (Evitable Conflict.229)

Calvin may be useful as a frame narrator for this book since she's been around nearly from the beginning. (In fact, all the people who have been around as long as her have passed away—the original Robertson, Lanning, Bogert.) She helps maintain our sense of technological progress without taking anything for granted or being too shocked about the whole thing.
