Philip K. Dick Quotes
In Former Days Bob Arctor Had Run His Affairs Differently: There Had Been A Wife Much Like Other Wives, Two Small Daughters, A Stable Household That Got Swept And Cleaned And Emptied Out Daily, The Dead Newspapers Not Even Opened Carried From The Front Walk To The Garbage Pail, On Even, Sometimes, Read. But Then One Day, While Lifting Out An Electric Corn Popper From Under The Sink, Arctor Had Hit His Head On The Corner Of A Kitchen Cabinet Directly Above Him. The Pain, The Cut In His Scalp, So Unexpected And Undeserved, Had For Some Reason Cleared Away The Cobwebs. It Lashed On Him Instantly That He Didn't Hate The Kitchen Cabinet: He Hated His Wife, His Two Daughters, His Whole House, The Back Yard With Its Power Mower, The Garage, The Radiant Heating System, The Front Yard, The Fence, The Whole Fucking Place And Everyone In It. He Wanted A Divorce; He Wanted To Split. And So He Had, Very Soon. And Entered, By Degrees, A New And Somber Life, Lacking All Of That.
