More quotes by Philip K. Dick
I'd like to see you move up to the goat class, where I think you belong.
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
Guilt -- if there was any guilt -- spread out and diffused itself over everybody and everything. . . . Perhaps at some point in time, at some spot in the world, a moment of responsibility existed.
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.
Philip K. Dick
Upon him the contempt of three planets descended.
Philip K. Dick
One thing I've found that I can do that I really enjoy is rereading my own writing, earlier stories and novels especially. It induces mental time travel, the same way certain songs you hear on the radio do ... the whole thing returns, an eerie feeling that I'm sure you've experienced.
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
I think that, like in my writing, reality is always a soap bubble, Silly Putty thing anyway. In the universe people are in, people put their hands through the walls, and it turns out they're living in another century entirely. I often have the feeling — and it does show up in my books — that this is all just a stage.
Philip K. Dick
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
Philip K. Dick
Those who refused to respond to the new stimulus would perish. Adapt or perish.
Philip K. Dick
Basically, Sherri's idea had to do with bringing Fat's mind down from the cosmic and the abstract to the particular. She had hatched out the practical notion that nothing is more real than a large World War Two Soviet tank.
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.
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
A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.
Philip K. Dick
Everything is true,' he said. 'Everything anybody has ever thought.' 'Will you be all right?' 'I'll be all right,' he said, and thought, And I'm going to die. Both those are true, too.
Philip K. Dick
But an artist, he realized. Or rather so-called artist. Bohemian. That's closer to it. The artistic life without the talent.
Philip K. Dick
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy... fear makes you always, always hold something back.
Philip K. Dick
Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night.
Philip K. Dick
This is a mournful discovery. 1)Those who agree with you are insane 2)Those who do not agree with you are in power.
Philip K. Dick
