“DeWeese asks, 'Does this tie in with what you were doing on "Quality?"'
'It's the direct result of it,' I say.
I remember something and look at DeWeese. 'Didn't you advise me to drop it?'
'I said no one had ever succeeded in doing what you were trying to do.'
'Do you think it's possible?'
'I don't know. Who knows?' His expression is really concerned. 'A lot of people are listening better these days. Particularly the kids. They're really listening... and not just at you- to you... to you. It makes all the difference.”
― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
― Marcus Aurelius

“Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home… it's your responsibility to love it, or change it.”
― Chuck Palahniuk
