More quotes by Philip K. Dick
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
Philip K. Dick
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
God is dead,' Nick said. 'They found his carcass in 2019. Floating in space near Alpha.' 'They found the remains of an organism advanced several thousand times over what we are,' Charley said. 'And evidently could create habitable worlds and populate them with living organisms, derived from itself. But that doesn't prove it was God.
Philip K. Dick
…we all lie to ourselves we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.
Philip K. Dick
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy. If you’re afraid you don’t commit yourself to life completely fear makes you always, always hold something back. You shouldn’t be alone. It’s killing you it’s undermining you. All the time, every day, you should be somewhere with people.
Philip K. Dick
Everything is true,' he said. 'Everything anybody has ever thought.' 'Will you be all right?' 'I'll be all right,' he said, and thought, And I'm going to die. Both those are true, too.
Philip K. Dick
The silence of the world could not rein back it's greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.
Philip K. Dick
I think that, like in my writing, reality is always a soap bubble, Silly Putty thing anyway. In the universe people are in, people put their hands through the walls, and it turns out they're living in another century entirely. I often have the feeling — and it does show up in my books — that this is all just a stage.
Philip K. Dick
A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.
Philip K. Dick
Every time I see a picture of Stalin I look him square in the eye and I say: You're a meat eater, Joseph.
Philip K. Dick
You're killing yourself with cynicism. Your idols got taken away from you one by one and now you have nothing to give your love to.
Philip K. Dick
Skill is a function of chance. It’s an intuitive best-use of chance situations.
Philip K. Dick
Reality is just a point of view.
Philip K. Dick
God can be good and terrible-not in succession-but at the same time. This is why we seek a mediator between us and him we approach him through the mediating priest and attenuate and enclose him through the sacraments. It is for our own safety: to trap him within confines which render him safe.
Philip K. Dick
Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.
Philip K. Dick
I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.
Philip K. Dick
Whom the gods notice they destroy.
Philip K. Dick
When I was a child, I thought as a child. But now I have put away childish things. ... I must be scientific.
Philip K. Dick
Those who refused to respond to the new stimulus would perish. Adapt or perish.
Philip K. Dick
Maybe I'll go where I can see stars, he said to himself as the car gained velocity and altitude it headed away from San Francisco, toward the uninhabited desolation to the north. To the place where no living thing would go. Not unless it felt that the end had come.
Philip K. Dick
