(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.

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
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
Philip K. Dick
You know what the doctor said to me to cheer me up? Fat said. There are worse diseases than cancer. Did he show you slides? We both laughed. When you are nearly crazy with grief, you laugh at what you can.
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.

I think great art should play a part in the ordinary man's life, don't you? It can make his existence so much richer and more meaningful.
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
Death hides within every religion. And at any time it can flash forth-not with healing in its wings but with poison, with that which wounds.
Philip K. Dick
Upon him the contempt of three planets descended.
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
God can be good and terrible-not in succession-but at the same time. This is why we seek a mediator between us and him we approach him through the mediating priest and attenuate and enclose him through the sacraments. It is for our own safety: to trap him within confines which render him safe.
Philip K. Dick
No man is infinitely strong for every creature that runs, flies, hops or crawls there is a terminal nemesis which he will not circumvent, which will finally do him in.
Philip K. Dick
I love you,' Rachael said. 'If I entered a room and found a sofa covered with your hide I'd score very high on the Voigt-Kampff test.
Philip K. Dick
Madness has its own dynamism. It just goes on.
Philip K. Dick
The will to believe chases out the rational mind, whenever and wherever the two come into conflict.
Philip K. Dick
...the essence of the evil government is that it anticipates bad conduct on the part of its citizens. Any government which assumes that the population is going to do something evil has already lost its franchise to govern.
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
You're killing yourself with cynicism. Your idols got taken away from you one by one and now you have nothing to give your love to.
Philip K. Dick
How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.
