More quotes by Philip K. Dick
Once a guy stood all day shaking bugs from his hair.
Philip K. Dick
I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judaea in 50 AD. . . . Saint Paul would never go near Disneyland. Only children, tourists, and visiting Soviet high officials ever go to Disneyland. Saints do not.
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
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
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
I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.
Philip K. Dick
Life ... is only heavy and none else there is only the one trip, all heavy. Heavy that leads to the grave. For everyone and everything.
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
Basically, Sherri's idea had to do with bringing Fat's mind down from the cosmic and the abstract to the particular. She had hatched out the practical notion that nothing is more real than a large World War Two Soviet tank.
Philip K. Dick
Reality is just a point of view.
Philip K. Dick
Any given man sees only a tiny portion of the total truth, and very often, in fact almost ... perpetually, he deliberately deceives himself about that little precious fragment as well.
Philip K. Dick
One thing I've found that I can do that I really enjoy is rereading my own writing, earlier stories and novels especially. It induces mental time travel, the same way certain songs you hear on the radio do ... the whole thing returns, an eerie feeling that I'm sure you've experienced.
Philip K. Dick
What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small... and you will escape the jealousy of the great.
Philip K. Dick
Madness, like small fish, runs in hosts, in vast numbers of instances.
Philip K. Dick
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
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
There is no route out of the maze. The maze shifts as you move through it, because it is alive.
Philip K. Dick
It's not what happened but how it is told.
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
The silence of the world could not rein back it's greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.
