The day came. The wrath descended. Sin, guilt, and retribution? The manic psychoses of those entities we referred to as states, institutions, systems - the powers, the thrones, the dominations - the things which perpetually merge with men and emerge from them? Our darkness, externalized and visible? However you look upon these matters, the critical point was reached. The wrath descended.

I think great art should play ...

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 Kindred Dick 239 quotes

Life is short, he thought. Art...

Life is short, he thought. Art, or something not life, is long, stretching out endless, like [a] concrete worm. Flat, white, unsmoothed by any passage over or across it.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

The odd thing in this world is...

The odd thing in this world is that an eager-beaver type, with no original ideas, who mimes those in authority above him right to the last twist of necktie and scrape of chin, always gets noticed. Gets selected. Rises.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

In a civil war every side is ...

In a civil war every side is wrong. It's hopeless to try to untangle it. Everyone is a victim.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

He sat watching the people go ...

He sat watching the people go by, wondering how a thing of this sort could have come about, I must have let myself get mixed up in something horrible, he thought ... Probably she's the one who did it; I have no control of myself or anything that's happened. So now I'm waking up. I'm awake, he thought ... I've been destroyed and now that I'm awake all I can do is realize it ... The shock of getting up there and telling that account made me see. Mixture of lies and bits of truth. Woven together. Unable to see where each

In this dark world where he no...

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 Kindred Dick 239 quotes

So books are real to me, too; ...

So books are real to me, too; they link me not just with other minds but with the vision of other minds, what those minds understand and see. I see their worlds as well as I see my own.

Just because something bears the aspect of the inevitable one should not, therefore, go along willingly with it.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

We hypostatize information int...

We hypostatize information into objects. Rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. This is a language which we have lost the ability to read. We ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. We ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form. We are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing

I'm not much but I'm all I have.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

In Washington and Moscow they ...

In Washington and Moscow they are saying, 'Man has finally come of age; he doesn't need paternalistic help.' Which is another way of saying, 'We have abolished that help, and in its place we will rule,' offering no help at all: taking but not giving, ruling but not obeying, telling but not listening, taking life and not giving it. The slayers govern now, without interference; the dreams of mankind have become empty.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

But the actual touch of her li...

But the actual touch of her lingered, inside his heart. That remained. In all the years of his life ahead, the long years without her, with never seeing her or hearing from her or knowing anything about her, if she was alive or happy or dead or what, that touch stayed locked within him, sealed in himself, and never went away. That one touch of her hand.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

They wanted to have a good tim...

They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street; they could see one after another of them being killed--run over, maimed, destroyed--but they continued to play anyhow.

Philip Kindred Dick 239 quotes

we all lie to ourselves; we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.

Every junkie, he thought, is a recording.

This is a mournful discovery. 1)Those who agree with you are insane 2)Those who do not agree with you are in power.

It really seems to me that in the midst of great tragedy, there is always the horrible possibility that something terribly funny will happen.

It has been said of dreams that they are a 'controlled psychosis,' or, put another way, a psychosis is a dream breaking through during waking hours.

She makes life over, he realized. She controls life, whereas I just sit on my can and let it happen to me.
