More quotes by Philip K. Dick
Human has always striven to retain the past, to keep it convincing there's nothing wicked in that. Without it we have no continuity we have only the moment. And, deprived of the past, the moment - the present - has little meaning, if any.
Philip K. Dick
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
Philip K. Dick
If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.
Philip K. Dick
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
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
I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.
Philip K. Dick
When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.
Philip K. Dick
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
(Insanity) is not hubris, not pride it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate - confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God God has eaten man.
Philip K. Dick
People have told me that everything about me, every facet of my life, psyche, experiences, dreams, and fears, are laid out explicitly in my writing, that from the corpus of my work I can be absolutely and precisely inferred. This is true.
Philip K. Dick
I guess that's the story of life: what you most fear never happens, but what you most yearn for never happens either. This is the difference between life and fiction. I suppose it's a good trade-off. But I'm not sure.
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
A child of today can detect a lie quicker than the wisest adult of two decades ago. When I want to know what is true, I ask my children.
Philip K. Dick
How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.
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
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
Upon him the contempt of three planets descended.
Philip K. Dick
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
Philip K. Dick
How can justice fall victim, ever, to what is right?
Philip K. Dick
Odd that the brain could function on its own, without acquainting him with its purposes, its reasons. But the brain was an organ, like the spleen, heart, kidneys. And they went about their private activities. So why not the brain?
