Famous quotes containing the words robert m and/or pirsig:

    The difference between a healthy person and one who is mentally ill is the fact that the healthy one has all the mental illnesses, and the mentally ill person has only one.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    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)
