    "The forest here at the bottom of the canyon is mostly pine, with a
    few aspen and broad-leafed shrubs. Steep canyon walls rise way above us
    on both sides. Occasionally the trail opens into a patch of sunlight
    and grass that edges the canyon stream, but soon it reenters the deep
    shade of the pines. The earth of the trail is covered with a soft
    springy duff of pine needles. It is very quiet here.
        Mountains like these and travelers in the mountains and events
    that happen to them here are found not only in Zen literature but in
    the tales of every major religion."-- Robert Pirsig

    "... a point of common understanding between the classic and romantic
    worlds. Quality, the cleavage term between hip and square, seemed to be
    it. Both worlds used the term. Both knew what it was. It was just that
    the romantic left it alone and appreciated it for what it was and the
    classic tried to turn it into a set of intellectual building blocks for
    other purposes."-- Robert Pirsig
