Philip K. Dick
In this dark world where he now dwelt, ugly things and surprising things and once in a long while a tiny wondrous thing spilled out at him constantly he could count on nothing.
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
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
I became educated to the fact that the greatest pain does not come zooming down from a distant planet, but from the depths of the heart. Of course, both could happen your wife and child could leave you, and you could be sitting alone in your empty house with nothing to live for, and in addition the Martians could bore through the roof and get you.

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
Activity does not necessarily mean life.
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
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
I started reading SF when I was about twelve and I read all I could, so any author who was writing about that time, I read. But there's no doubt who got me off originally and that was A. E. van Vogt.
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
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy... fear makes you always, always hold something back.
Philip K. Dick
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.
Philip K. Dick
To fight the Empire is to be infected by its derangement.... Whoever defeats the Empire becomes the Empire it proliferates like a virus.
Philip K. Dick
My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression.
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
Whom the gods notice they destroy.
