Truth Quote by Philip K. Dick — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Grief reunites you with what you've lost. It's a merging; you go with the loved thing or person that's going away. You follow it a far as you can go.”

“They ought to make it a binding clause that if you find God you get to keep Him.”

“Truth, she thought. As terrible as death. But harder to find.”

“If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.”

“This is a mournful discovery.”

“but as he plodded along a vague and almost hallucinatory pall hazed over his mind; he found himself at one point, with no notion of how it could be, a step from an almost certain fatal cliffside fall—falling humiliatingly and helplessly, he thought; on and on, with no one even to witness it. Here there existed no one to record his or anyone else's degradation, and any courage or pride which might manifest itself here at the end would go unmarked: the dead stones, the dust-stricken weeds dry and dying, perceived nothing, recollected nothing, about him or themselves.”

“And yet, sometimes facts are no more than pitiful consequences, because guilt does not reside in our acts but in the intentions that give rise to our act. Everything turns on our intentions.”

“My mother always says people should be able to take care of themselves, even if they're rich and important.”

“I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.”

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

“But please remember: this is only a work of fiction. The truth, as always, will be far stranger.”

“There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.”
