Quality tends to fan out like waves.
ROBERT M. PIRSIG, Zen 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.
Any philosophic explanation of Quality is going to be both false and true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. The process of philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into subjects and predicates. What I mean (and everybody else means) by the word ‘quality’ cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. This is not because Quality is so mysterious but because Quality is so simple, immediate and direct.
ROBERT M. PIRSIG, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Art is anything you can do well. Anything you can do with Quality.
ROBERT M. PIRSIG, NPR interview, Jul. 12, 1974
