some of the famous quotes on cyborgs are:
Sandy Stone:
In technosociality, the social world of virtual culture, technics is nature. When exploration, rationalization, remaking, and control mean the same thing, then nature,
technics, and the structure of meaning have become indistinguishable. The technosocial subject is able successfully to navigate through this treacherous new world. S/he
is constituted as part of the evolution of communications technology and of the human organism, in a time in which technology and organism are collapsing, imploding,
into each other. (Stone, Sandy. "Cyberspace: First Steps," ed. Michael Benedikt (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1991): 81-118.
Donna Haraway:
Linguistically and materially, a hybrid of cybernetic device and organism, a cyborg is a science fiction chimera from the 1950s and after; but a cyborg is also a powerful social and scientific reality in the same historical period. Like any important technology, a cyborg is simultaneously a myth and a tool, a representation and an instrument, a frozen moment and a motor of social and imaginative reality. A cyborg exists when two kinds of boundaries are simultaneously problematic: 1) that between animals (or other organisms) and humans, and 2) that between self-controlled, self-governing machines (autonomous) and organisms, especially humans (models of autonomy). The cyborg is the figure born of the interface of automation and autonomy.
(Haraway, Donna. " Cyborgs and Symbionts: Living Together in the New World Order," in Gray, ed.)
