More quotes by 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
Everything in life is just for a while.
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
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
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

Philip K. Dick
It's not what happened but how it is told.
Philip K. Dick
Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night.
Philip K. Dick
Little kids are that way they feel if their parents aren't watching what they do then what they do isn't real.
Philip K. Dick
She makes life over, he realized. She controls life, whereas I just sit on my can and let it happen to me.
Philip K. Dick
Those who refused to respond to the new stimulus would perish. Adapt or perish.
Philip K. Dick
Activity does not necessarily mean life.
Philip K. Dick
Giving me a a new idea is like handing a cretin a gun, but I do thank you anyhow, bang bang.
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
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
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
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
My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression.
