Creative energy is “gumption” or enthusiasm ( enthousiasmos means literally “filled with theos” or God—appropriate since God is the inspiration of creativity). Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past.”

For Pirsig, outlook plays a huge role in improving one’s standard of living. You just not need to solve the problem, but reaching out to the lying cause of the problem is also imperative, with right attitude and focus. He wants everyone to have positive attitude in life and look at everything, good or bad, with a changed perspective.

At the heart of 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' is Phaedrus’s quest to understand “Quality” – an overarching entity that divide the world into separate categories of science, art, and religion. Here are some of the 'Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance' quotes by Robert M. Pirsig that can help you improve your quality of life.

When you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and want to get on to other things.” Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.The thing I find most excellent in this book is that it points out the step where the mystery comes in, i.e. coming up with new hypotheses, the long sought "aha" that comes when you're working on a hard problem. Science has no method for how you get that. You just play with the problem, turn it over in your mind, try things, strive to understand, and then the answer sometimes appears in your head. It's a complete mystery. There are stories in the history of science, about Kekule who figured out the ring structure of Benzene from a dream about a snake swallowing its tail, about Einstein at age 13 picturing what it would be like to ride the crest of a light wave, and on and on. This book showed me that buried in the heart of science is something generative and alive that defies scientific explanation, simply because it's outside the system. We're living in topsy-turvy times and I think that what causes the topsy-turvy feeling is inadequacy of old forms of thought to deal with new experiences."
