More quotes by Philip K. Dick
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.
Philip K. Dick
We should take mothers in high seas and drown them there, they are as poisonous as lead in the air.
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.
Philip K. Dick
What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small... and you will escape the jealousy of the great.
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
Where there's dope, there's hope!
Philip K. Dick
It's not what happened but how it is told.
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
I'm not much but I'm all I have.
Philip K. Dick
How can days and happenings and moments so good become so quickly ugly, and for no reason, for no real reason? Just - change. With nothing causing it.
Philip K. Dick
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
Philip K. Dick
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
Philip K. Dick
Reality is just a point of view.
Philip K. Dick
Madness, like small fish, runs in hosts, in vast numbers of instances.
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
There is no route out of the maze. The maze shifts as you move through it, because it is alive.
Philip K. Dick
…we all lie to ourselves we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.
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
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
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
