(Insanity) is not hubris, not pride it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate - confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God God has eaten man.

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
How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.
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
Even if all life on our planet is destroyed, there must be other life somewhere which we know nothing of. It is impossible that ours is the only world there must be world after world unseen by us, in some region or dimension that we simply do not perceive. Even though I can't prove that, even though it isn't logical - I believe it.
Philip K. Dick
Sometimes I wish I knew how to go crazy. I forget how.
Philip K. Dick
Skill is a function of chance. It’s an intuitive best-use of chance situations.
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
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
I like her I could watch her the rest of my life. She has breasts that smile.
Philip K. Dick
Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally.
Philip K. Dick
Can we consider the universe real, and if so, in what way?
Philip K. Dick
Emigrate or Degenerate.

The church of my choice is the free, open world.

I did not tell Fat this, but technically he had become a Buddha. It did not seem to me like a good idea to let him know. After all, if you are a Buddha you should be able to figure it out for yourself.
Philip K. Dick
Human has always striven to retain the past, to keep it convincing there's nothing wicked in that. Without it we have no continuity we have only the moment. And, deprived of the past, the moment - the present - has little meaning, if any.
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
A lot can be said for the infinite mercies of God, but the smarts of a good pharmacist, when you get down to it, is worth more.
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
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
I never liked the idea of doing what a machine says. I hate having to salute something built in a factory.
Philip K. Dick
