Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Afterword Quotes: Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent. - André Gide It's not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't understand until it makes you weep. - Robert Anton Wilson I really only love god as much as I love the person I love the least. - Dorothy Day if you don't become the ocean you'll be seasick every day - Leonard Cohen The ultimate weapon has always existed. Every man, every woman, and every child owns it. It's the ability to say 'No' and take the consequences. - Robert Anton Wilson Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness. - Now and Then, Here and There We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. - Kurt Vonnegut Pity me that the heart is slow to learn What the swift mind beholds at every turn. - Edna St. Vincent Millay The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the chains that shackle the spirit... the arbitrariness of the constraint only serves to obtain precision of execution. - Igor Stravinsky I would like to understand things better, but I don’t want to understand them perfectly. - Douglas Hofstadter If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be. - Yogi Berra
