More quotes by Philip K. Dick
We are in a maze which we built, and then we fell into, now can't get out. To make the game into something real, something more than merely an intellectual exercise, we elected to lose our exceptional faculties, to reduce us an entire level. This unfortunately, includes a loss of memory.
Philip K. Dick
There is evil! It's actual, like cement. I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view ... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.
Philip K. Dick
I love you,' Rachael said. 'If I entered a room and found a sofa covered with your hide I'd score very high on the Voigt-Kampff test.
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
But an artist, he realized. Or rather so-called artist. Bohemian. That's closer to it. The artistic life without the talent.
Philip K. Dick
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy... fear makes you always, always hold something back.
Philip K. Dick
I'm a strange person. Sometimes I hardly know what I'm going to do or say next. Sometimes I seem a stranger to myself. Sometimes what I do surprises me and I can't understand why I do it.
Philip K. Dick
You know what the doctor said to me to cheer me up? Fat said. There are worse diseases than cancer. Did he show you slides? We both laughed. When you are nearly crazy with grief, you laugh at what you can.
Philip K. Dick
Those who refused to respond to the new stimulus would perish. Adapt or perish.
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
Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally.
Philip K. Dick
The frogs hopping indoors agree that we are on a prison planet. They themselves are frog criminals that were convicted of doing frog crimes.
Philip K. Dick
Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world, a world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans.
Philip K. Dick
A child of today can detect a lie quicker than the wisest adult of two decades ago. When I want to know what is true, I ask my children.
Philip K. Dick
We do not have an ideal world, such as we would like, where morality is easy because cognition is easy. Where one can do right with no effort because he can detect the obvious.
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.

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
I never liked the idea of doing what a machine says. I hate having to salute something built in a factory.
Philip K. Dick
I'm not much but I'm all I have.
