More quotes by 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
Life in Anaheim, California, was a commercial for itself, endlessly replayed. Nothing changed it just spread out farther and farther in the form of neon ooze. What there was always more of had been congealed into permanence long ago, as if the automatic factory that cranked out these objects had jammed in the on position.
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
The distinction between sanity and insanity is narrower than a razor’s edge, sharper than a hound’s tooth, more agile than a mule deer. It is more elusive than the merest phantom. Perhaps it does not even exist perhaps it is a phantom.
Philip K. Dick
Odd that the brain could function on its own, without acquainting him with its purposes, its reasons. But the brain was an organ, like the spleen, heart, kidneys. And they went about their private activities. So why not the brain?
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
Skill is a function of chance. It’s an intuitive best-use of chance situations.
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
A man is an angel that has gone deranged.
Philip K. Dick
On some other world, possibly it is different. Better. There are clear good and evil alternatives. Not these obscure admixtures, these blends, with no proper tool by which to untangle the components.
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
Either I've invented a whole new logic or, ahem, I'm not playing with a full deck.
Philip K. Dick
Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night.
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
Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally.
Philip K. Dick
Everything is true Everything anybody has ever thought
Philip K. Dick
If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.
Philip K. Dick
Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.
Philip K. Dick
Madness, like small fish, runs in hosts, in vast numbers of instances.
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
