Philip K. Dick Quotes
We Found That Human Cultures Pass Through Phases, Each Culture In Its Own Time. As The Culture Ages And Begins To Lose Its Objectives, Conflict Arises Within It Between Those Who Wish To Cast It Off And Set Up A New Culture-pattern, And Those Who Wish To Retain The Old With As Little Change As Possible. "At This Point, A Great Danger Appears. The Conflict Within Threatens To Engulf The Society In Self-war, Group Against Group. The Vital Traditions May Be Lost - Not Merely Altered Or Reformed, But Completely Destroyed In This Period Of Chaos And Anarchy. We Have Found Many Such Examples In The History Of Mankind. "It Is Necessary For This Hatred Within The Culture To Be Directed Outward, Toward An External Group, So That The Culture Itself May Survive Its Crisis. War Is The Result. War, To A Logical Mind, Is Absurd. But In Terms Of Human Needs, It Plays A Vital Role. And It Will Continue To Until Man Has Grown Up Enough So That No Hatred Lies Within Him.
