There's got to be more to life than just living, Foyle said to the robot.Then find it for yourself, sir. Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.Why can't we all move forward together?Because you're all different. You're not lemmings. Some must lead, and hope that the rest will follow.Who leads?The men who must...driven men, compelled men.Freak men.You're all freaks, sir. But you always have been freaks. Life is a freak. That's its hope and glory.Thank you very much.My pleasure, sir.You've saved the day.Always a lovely day somewhere, sir, the robot beamed. Then it fizzed, jangled, and collapsed.
