More quotes by Philip K. Dick
God is dead,' Nick said. 'They found his carcass in 2019. Floating in space near Alpha.' 'They found the remains of an organism advanced several thousand times over what we are,' Charley said. 'And evidently could create habitable worlds and populate them with living organisms, derived from itself. But that doesn't prove it was God.
Philip K. Dick
We do not have an ideal world, such as we would like, where morality is easy because cognition is easy. Where one can do right with no effort because he can detect the obvious.

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeeth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.

Life ... is only heavy and none else there is only the one trip, all heavy. Heavy that leads to the grave. For everyone and everything.

Maybe I'll go where I can see stars, he said to himself as the car gained velocity and altitude it headed away from San Francisco, toward the uninhabited desolation to the north. To the place where no living thing would go. Not unless it felt that the end had come.

When two people dream the same dream, it ceases to be an illusion.

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
Even if all life on our planet is destroyed, there must be other life somewhere which we know nothing of. It is impossible that ours is the only world there must be world after world unseen by us, in some region or dimension that we simply do not perceive. Even though I can't prove that, even though it isn't logical - I believe it.
Philip K. Dick
Fat realized that one of two possibilities existed and only two either Dr. Stone was totally insane – not just insane but totally so – or else in an artful, professional fashion he had gotten Fat to talk he had drawn Fat out and now knew that Fat was totally insane.

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
You're killing yourself with cynicism. Your idols got taken away from you one by one and now you have nothing to give your love to.
Philip K. Dick
…we all lie to ourselves we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.
Philip K. Dick
I'm a strange person. Sometimes I hardly know what I'm going to do or say next. Sometimes I seem a stranger to myself. Sometimes what I do surprises me and I can't understand why I do it.

Every time I see a picture of Stalin I look him square in the eye and I say: You're a meat eater, Joseph.

I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judaea in 50 AD. . . . Saint Paul would never go near Disneyland. Only children, tourists, and visiting Soviet high officials ever go to Disneyland. Saints do not.
Philip K. Dick
No man is infinitely strong for every creature that runs, flies, hops or crawls there is a terminal nemesis which he will not circumvent, which will finally do him in.
Philip K. Dick
I'm tired and I want to rest I want to get out of this and go lie down somewhere, off where it's dark and no one speaks. Forever.
Philip K. Dick
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy. If you’re afraid you don’t commit yourself to life completely fear makes you always, always hold something back. You shouldn’t be alone. It’s killing you it’s undermining you. All the time, every day, you should be somewhere with people.
Philip K. Dick
Everything is true Everything anybody has ever thought
