More quotes by 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
The church of my choice is the free, open world.
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
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
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
Everything in life is just for a while.
Philip K. Dick
…we all lie to ourselves we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.
Philip K. Dick
You're - psychotic. There's something wrong with you. I know, Benteley agreed. I'm a sick man. And the more I see, the sicker I get. I'm so sick I think everybody else is sick and I'm the only healthy person. That's pretty bad off, isn't it?
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
There is no route out of the maze. The maze shifts as you move through it, because it is alive.
Philip K. Dick
Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world, a world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans.
Philip K. Dick
Whom the gods notice they destroy.
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
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
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
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.
Philip K. Dick
It's not what happened but how it is told.
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
I'd like to see you move up to the goat class, where I think you belong.
Philip K. Dick
Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.
Philip K. Dick
