Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick

Popular In Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep

Popular Quotes And Their Visualizations

"The electrical field was everywhere. The air hummed with machines. Behind me the great machines clattered and whirred; I had no idea what they were doing. But I knew that the past was gone, like an old garment, and this was something new and terrible."

"I had to begin to understand it in me, in my own mind, which is where the anti-android inside me resided."

"An android is a thing, not a human being. Yet it has the power to deceive; it can act as if it is human, and even appear to empathize with our fears and joys."

"Despair, and the fact that we are here—the question won’t let me go. They feel, don’t they?"

"All the androids had to do was simulate empathy; it was the key to their evolution, and their greatest weapon against us."

"Is it not our purpose to give them life? To dimension and expand their existence by sharing our own? But, we must also accept the risk of their breach of that trust."

"To be human is to recognize your own frailty, and to reach out to someone else in their moment of despair. But do androids feel that burden?"

"Mercerism, they tell me, is an escape. It allows us to feel connected, to bridge the gap between ourselves and the machines."

"They are only mimicking emotions, and we can't forget that. But what about us? Are we any different, sometimes even more disconnected?"

"It is the empathy that makes us human, and the androids reflect what we wish we could be, which is flawless in their design, but lacking in spirit."
