Philip K. Dick Quotes
Imagine Being Able To Plot In Advance, In Systematic Fashion, The Approach Of All Meaningful Coincidences. Is That A Priori, By The Very Meaning Of The Word, Not A Contradiction? After All, A Coincidence, Or As Pauli Called It, A Manifestation Of Synchronicity, Is By Its Very Nature Not Dependent On The Past; Hence Nothing Exists As A Harbinger Of It (cf. David Hume On The Topic; In Particular The Train Whistle Versus The Train). This State, Not Knowing What Is Going To Happen Next And Therefore Having No Way Of Controlling It, Is The Sine Qua Non Of The Unhappy World Of The Schizophrenic; He Is Helpless, Passive, And Instead Of Doing Things, He Is Done To. Reality Happens To Him
A Sort Of Perpetual Auto Accident, Going On And On Without Relief.
