Before they came here I could stand it, being alone in the building. But now it’s changed… You can’t go from people to nonpeople. - Philip K. Dick

You can’t go from people to nonpeople.

Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy. If you’re afraid you don’t commit yourself to life completely; fear makes you always, always hold something back. You shouldn’t be alone. It’s killing you; it’s undermining you. All the time, every day, you should be somewhere with people.
