Philip K. Dick Berühmte Zitate

„Es sollte ein Gesetz geben, nach dem jemand, der sich umbringt, in ein Clownskostüm gesteckt und in diesem Aufzug dann fotografiert wird. Und sein Bild sollte in allen Zeitungen veröffentlicht werden.“

Philip K. Dick

Die Wiedergeburt des Timothy Archer, 1982

„In der Ehe manifestiert sich der größte Haß, den Menschen füreinander überhaupt empfinden können, und dies liegt vielleicht am ständigen Zusammensein und vielleicht auch daran, daß man sich einst geliebt hat. Die Intimität untereinander existiert noch immer, auch wenn die Liebe verschwunden ist. Und so tritt der Wille zur Macht ans Tageslicht, der Wunsch, den anderen zu beherrschen.“

Philip K. Dick buch Warte auf das letzte Jahr

Warte auf das letzte Jahr, 1966

„Was, wenn ein Symphonieorchester nur bestrebt wäre, zur letzten Koda zu kommen? Was würde dann aus der Musik? Ein einziges Getöse, das so schnell wie möglich endet. Die Musik aber liegt im Prozess, in der Entwicklung – wenn man sie beschleunigt, vernichtet man sie. Dann ist die Musik vorbei.“

Philip K. Dick

Die Wiedergeburt des Timothy Archer, 1982

„Wir bezeichnen Menschen, die mit Gott reden, als gläubig – und wir bezeichnen Menschen, zu denen Gott spricht, als geisteskrank. Dies ist ein Zeitalter, in dem es nur wenig Glauben gibt. Nicht Gott ist es, der tot ist, es ist unser Glaube, der gestorben ist.“

Philip K. Dick

Die Wiedergeburt des Timothy Archer, 1982

„Der Geist eines Junkies ist wie die Musik, die du aus dem Radiowecker hörst - manchmal klingt sie ja ganz hübsch, aber sie ist nur dazu da, dich zu etwas Bestimmtem zu veranlassen. Die Musik aus dem Radiowecker soll dich aufwecken; die Musik des Junkies soll dich in ein Werkzeug zur Beschaffung von immer mehr Stoff verwandeln.“

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer (1982)

“Loyce gazed up, rigid with horror. The splotch of darkness, hanging over the City Hall. Darkness so thick it seemed almost solid. In the vortex something moved. Flickering shapes. Things, descending from the sky, pausing momentarily above the City Hall, fluttering over it in a dense swarm and then dropping silently onto the roof. Shapes. Fluttering shapes from the sky. From the crack of darkness that hung above him. He was seeing—them.”

“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.”

“One long-past innocent day, in my prefolly youth, I came upon a statement in an undistinguished textbook on psychiatry that, as when Kant read Hume, woke me forever from my garden-of-eden slumber. "The psychotic does not merely think he sees four blue bivalves with floppy wings wandering up the wall; he does see them. An hallucination is not, strictly speaking, manufactured in the brain; it is received by the brain, like any 'real' sense datum, and the patient act in response to this to-him-very-real perception of reality in as logical a way as we do to our sense data. In any way to suppose he only 'thinks he sees it' is to misunderstand totally the experience of psychosis."”
