More quotes by Philip K. Dick
Can anyone alter fate? All of us combined... or one great figure... or someone strategically placed, who happens to be in the right spot. Chance. Accident. And our lives, our world, hanging on it.
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.

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
One thing I've found that I can do that I really enjoy is rereading my own writing, earlier stories and novels especially. It induces mental time travel, the same way certain songs you hear on the radio do ... the whole thing returns, an eerie feeling that I'm sure you've experienced.

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
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
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
My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression.
Philip K. Dick
What a tragic realm this is, he reflected. Those down here are prisoners, and the ultimate tragedy is that they don't know it they think they are free because they have never been free, and do not understand what it means.
Philip K. Dick
If the last to know he’s an addict is the addict, then maybe the last to know when a man means what he says is the man himself, he reflected.
Philip K. Dick
When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.
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
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
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
Philip K. Dick
I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.
Philip K. Dick
Everything in life is just for a while.
Philip K. Dick
How can justice fall victim, ever, to what is right?
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.
