Philip K. Dick
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
Philip K. Dick
When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.
Philip K. Dick
Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally.
