Quotes by Robert M. Pirsig

The real train of knowledge isn't a static entity that can be stopped and subdivided. Its always going somewhere.

I think that their flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha rests quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer of the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha--which is to demean oneself.

The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth,' and so it goes away.

The truth knocks on the door and you say,"Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away.

Any effort that has self-glorification as its final endpoint is bound to end in disaster.
