More quotes by 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
There is evil! It's actual, like cement. I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view ... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.
Philip K. Dick
Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally.
Philip K. Dick
The Logos was both that which thought, and the thing which it thought: thinker and thought together. The universe, then, is thinker and thought, and since we are part of it, we as humans are, in the final analysis, thoughts of and thinkers of those thoughts.
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
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
I love you,' Rachael said. 'If I entered a room and found a sofa covered with your hide I'd score very high on the Voigt-Kampff test.
Philip K. Dick
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
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.
Philip K. Dick
The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking.
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
I'd like to see you move up to the goat class, where I think you belong.
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
The Empire is the institution, the codification, of derangement it is insane and imposes its insanity on us by violence, since its nature is a violent one.
Philip K. Dick
Do you have information that there's an android in the cast? I'd be glad to help you, and if I were an android would I be glad to help you? An android, he said, doesn't care what happens to another android. That's one of the indications we look for. Then, Miss Luft said, you must be an android.
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
If the last to know he’s an addict is the addict, then maybe the last to know when a man means what he says is the man himself, he reflected.
Philip K. Dick
…we all lie to ourselves we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.
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
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
