"For a time Joe considered. In his mind he considered his room, the cubicle in which he worked, the loss of his coins, the police—he thought about it all and tried to make it add up. What ties me here? he asked himself. The known, he decided. The fact that I am used to it. You can get used to anything, and even learn to like it. Pavlov's theory of learned reflex is correct; I am held by habit. And nothing more."-Philip K. Dick, Galactic Pot-Healer
"A man is an angel that has become deranged, Joe Fernwright thought. Once they – all of them – had been genuine angels, and at that time they had had a choice between good and evil, so it was easy, easy being an angel. And then something happened. Something went wrong or broke down or failed. And they had become faced with the necessity of choosing not good or evil but the lesser of two evils, and so that had unhinged them and now each was a man."-Philip K. Dick, Galactic Pot-Healer
"Già suo padre, prima di lui, era stato un guaritore di vasi. E così anche lui guariva vasi, e a dire il vero qualsiasi manufatto di ceramica risalente ai Vecchi Tempi, prima della guerra, quando ancora non tutti gli oggetti erano fatti di plastica. Un vaso di ceramica era una cosa meravigliosa, e ogni vaso che guariva diventava un oggetto che amava, e che non dimenticava mai; la forma, la consistenza della ceramica e lo smalto, restava tutto con lui, per sempre. Quasi nessuno, tuttavia, aveva bisogno del suo lavoro, dei suoi servizi. Ormai rimanevano pochissimi manufatti di ceramica, e chi li possedeva faceva molta attenzione a che non si rompessero. Sono Joe Fernwright, si disse. Sono il miglior guaritore di vasi al mondo. Io, Joe Fernwright, sono diverso da tutti gli altri uomini."-Philip K. Dick, Galactic Pot-Healer
