Robert M. Pirsig
“But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.”
Robert M Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Sorin Hadârcă
“Gardul metafizic, ca şi zidul, stă să blocheze. Să nu lase să intre, dar mai cu seamă, să nu lase să iasă. Şi totuşi zidurile au stat de pe timpuri ca o provocare – o cetate e ca şi o invitaţie de a fi cucerită, zdrobită… Un perete – va rezista sau nu va rezista? De gard nu se ia nimeni: gardul e păzit, năruit, rezemat, dar niciodată cucerit…”
Sorin Hadârcă, Zen la pachet

Ernest Hemingway
“Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Robert M. Pirsig
“To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.”
Robert M. Pirsig
