More quotes by Philip K. Dick
How can justice fall victim, ever, to what is right?
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
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
There is no route out of the maze. The maze shifts as you move through it, because it is alive.
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
Where there's dope, there's hope!
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
Every time I see a picture of Stalin I look him square in the eye and I say: You're a meat eater, Joseph.
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
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
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
Those who refused to respond to the new stimulus would perish. Adapt or perish.
Philip K. Dick
God can be good and terrible-not in succession-but at the same time. This is why we seek a mediator between us and him we approach him through the mediating priest and attenuate and enclose him through the sacraments. It is for our own safety: to trap him within confines which render him safe.
Philip K. Dick
How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.
Philip K. Dick
The mentally disturbed do not employ the Principle of Scientific Parsimony: the most simple theory to explain a given set of facts. They shoot for the baroque.
Philip K. Dick
The silence of the world could not rein back it's greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.
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
We should take mothers in high seas and drown them there, they are as poisonous as lead in the air.
Philip K. Dick
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
Philip K. Dick
I never liked the idea of doing what a machine says. I hate having to salute something built in a factory.
Philip K. Dick
