People say mental hospitals are for the patients, in fact they are to protect society from them. They are justified in doing that. Society has to do what is best for itself.

(What makes his world so hard to see clearly is not its strangeness but its usualness).Familiarity can blind you too.

I've wondered why it took us so long to catch on. We saw it, and yet we didn't see it. Or rather we were trained not to see it. Conned perhaps into thinking that the real action was metropolitan and all this was just boring hinterland. It was a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away. I'm looking for the truth.' And so it goes away. Puzzling.

When you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and want to get on to other things.

Robert Pirsig 226 quotes

The past cannot remember the p...

The past cannot remember the past. The future can't generate the future. The cutting edge of the instant right here and now is always nothing less than the totality of everything there is.

Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive

We want to make good time, but for us now this is measured with the emphasis on 'good' rather than on 'time'....

The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.

Although motorcycle riding is romantic, motorcycle maintenance is purely classic.

Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all.

We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.

From an endless beach of reality, we take a grain of sand and call it the world.

The buddah can reside in the gears of a motorcycle as easily as in a flower on a mountaintop. To believe otherwise is to demean the buddah; which is to demean one's self.

For me, a writer should be more like a lighthouse keeper, just out there by himself. He shouldn't get his ideas from other people all around him.

Robert Pirsig 226 quotes

We have artists with no scientific knowledge and scientists with no artistic knowledge and both with no spiritual sense of gravity at all, and the result is not just bad, it is ghastly.

Robert Pirsig 226 quotes

The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality.

Robert Pirsig 226 quotes

It's not the 'nice' guy who brings about real social change. 'Nice' guys look nice because they're conforming. It's the 'bad' guys, who only look nice a hundred years later, that are the real Dynamic force in social evolution.

Quality isn't a thing. It is an event.

One of the most moral acts is to create a space in which life can move forward.

The real University... has no specific location. It owns no property, pays no salaries, and receives no material dues... The real University is a state of mind. It is that great heritage of rational thought that has been brought down to us through the centuries.
