“How good something is should never be determined by its cost, designer, origin, or its perceived value by others.”
Ashly Lorenzana

Robert M. Pirsig
“I don’t want to own these prairies, or photograph them, or change them, or even stop or even keep going.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

“Some things you miss because they’re so tiny you overlook them. But some things you don’t see because they’re so huge.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Elizabeth Gilbert
“At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Robert M. Pirsig
“You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s right there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
