Little kids are that way; they feel if their parents aren't watching what they do then what they do isn't real.
Philip K. DickWell, I hate to admit it, but it is possible that there is (one) such a thing as telepathy and (two) that the CETI project's idea that we might communicate with extraterrestrial beings via telepathy is possibly a reasonable idea--if telepathy exists and if ETIs exist. Otherwise we are trying to communicate with someone who doesn't exist with a system which doesn't work.
Philip K. DickFear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy... fear makes you always, always hold something back.
Philip K. DickI am Ubik. Before the universe was, I am. I made the suns. I made the worlds. I created the lives and the places they inhabit; I move them here, I put them there. They go as I say, then do as I tell them. I am the word and my name is never spoken, the name which no one knows. I am called Ubik, but that is not my name. I am. I shall always be.
Philip K. DickFear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy. If youโre afraid you donโt commit yourself to life completely; fear makes you always, always hold something back. You shouldnโt be alone. Itโs killing you; itโs undermining you. All the time, every day, you should be somewhere with people.
