Quotations from Robert M. Pirsig:
The world comes to us in an endless stream of puzzle pieces that we would like to think all fit together somehow, but that in fact never do.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorLila
The most moral activity of all is the creation of space for life to move around.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorLila
My personal feeling is that this is how any further improvement of the world will be done: by individuals making Quality decisions and that's all.
God, I don't want to have any more enthusiasm for big programs full of social planning for big masses of people that leave individual Quality out.
These can be left alone for a while. There's a place for them but they've got to be built on a foundation of Quality within the individuals involved.
We've had that individual Quality in the past, exploited it as a natural resource without knowing it, and now it's just about depleted.
Everyone's just about out of gumption. And I think it's about time to return to the rebuilding of this American resource -- individual worth.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Sanity is not truth. Sanity is conformity to what is socially expected. Truth is sometimes in conformity,
sometimes not.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorLila
Between the subject and the object lies the value.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) Author
Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) AuthorZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.Robert M. Pirsig , (b. 1928) Author
