More quotes by Philip K. Dick
Once a guy stood all day shaking bugs from his hair.
Philip K. Dick
I did not tell Fat this, but technically he had become a Buddha. It did not seem to me like a good idea to let him know. After all, if you are a Buddha you should be able to figure it out for yourself.
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
You mean old books? Stories written before space travel but about space travel. How could there have been stories about space travel before -- The writers, Pris said, made it up.
Philip K. Dick
Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.
Philip K. Dick
In this dark world where he now dwelt, ugly things and surprising things and once in a long while a tiny wondrous thing spilled out at him constantly he could count on nothing.
Philip K. Dick
Death hides within every religion. And at any time it can flash forth-not with healing in its wings but with poison, with that which wounds.
Philip K. Dick
Emigrate or Degenerate.
Philip K. Dick
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
Philip K. Dick
I started reading SF when I was about twelve and I read all I could, so any author who was writing about that time, I read. But there's no doubt who got me off originally and that was A. E. van Vogt.
Philip K. Dick
The odd thing in this world is that an eager-beaver type, with no original ideas, who mimes those in authority above him right to the last twist of necktie and scrape of chin, always gets noticed. Gets selected. Rises.
Philip K. Dick
Skill is a function of chance. It’s an intuitive best-use of chance situations.
Philip K. Dick
I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judaea in 50 AD. . . . Saint Paul would never go near Disneyland. Only children, tourists, and visiting Soviet high officials ever go to Disneyland. Saints do not.
Philip K. Dick
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
Philip K. Dick
On some other world, possibly it is different. Better. There are clear good and evil alternatives. Not these obscure admixtures, these blends, with no proper tool by which to untangle the components.
Philip K. Dick
Guilt -- if there was any guilt -- spread out and diffused itself over everybody and everything. . . . Perhaps at some point in time, at some spot in the world, a moment of responsibility existed.
Philip K. Dick
I'm not much but I'm all I have.
Philip K. Dick
Life in Anaheim, California, was a commercial for itself, endlessly replayed. Nothing changed it just spread out farther and farther in the form of neon ooze. What there was always more of had been congealed into permanence long ago, as if the automatic factory that cranked out these objects had jammed in the on position.
Philip K. Dick
To fight the Empire is to be infected by its derangement.... Whoever defeats the Empire becomes the Empire it proliferates like a virus.
Philip K. Dick
Upon him the contempt of three planets descended.
