If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.
Philip K. Dick
Any given man sees only a tiny portion of the total truth, and very often, in fact almost ... perpetually, he deliberately deceives himself about that little precious fragment as well.
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
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
Philip K. Dick
We should take mothers in high seas and drown them there, they are as poisonous as lead in the air.
