“Am I being paid back for something I did? he asked himself. Something I don't know about or remember? But nobody pays back, he reflected. I learned that a long time ago: you're not paid back for the bad you do nor the good you do. It all comes out uneven at the end. Haven't I learned that by now, if I've learned anything?”
― Philip K. Dick, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

“All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.”

“For years I’ve wanted to live according to everyone else’s morals. I’ve forced myself to live like everyone else, to look like everyone else. I said what was necessary to join together, even when I felt separate. And after all of this, catastrophe came.

And I must rebuild a truth–after having lived all my life in a sort of lie.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959

“You never see the ones who really love you and help you; you're always involved with strangers.”
― Philip K. Dick, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said
