     It takes a certain amount of courage, he thought, to face yourself and say with candor, I'm rotten. I've done evil and I will again. It was no accident; it emanated from the true, authentic me.

Philip K. Dick ~ The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (1965), p. 329

[...] You realize you took a decisively wrong course in your life and nobody made you do it. And it can't be repaired.

Philip K. Dick ~ The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (1965), p. 406
