"We are living in a world where everything is false. The society is like bright paint applied on top of rotten wood."

Previous Quote

Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb--that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully... which only reinforces that particular Lie.

— Philip K. Dick
