(The universe.)

[tenshirei]

I used to believe the universe was basically hostile. And that I was misplaced in it, I was different from it. . . fashioned in some other universe and placed here, you see. So that it zigged while I zagged. And that it had singled me out only because there was something weird about me. I didn't really groove with the universe.
I had a lot of fears

I wonder how common that sense is. It reminds me of C.S. Lewis's argument that he wasn't made for this world.

That's interesting, considering Lewis's strong religious convictions. This quote from Dick comes shortly after he had his own religious experience, but his spirituality is very different from Lewis's.
