Robert M. Pirsig Quotes
An Untrained Observer Will See Only Physical Labor And Often Get The Idea That Physical Labor Is Mainly What The Mechanic Does. Actually The Physical Labor Is The Smallest And Easiest Part Of What The Mechanic Does. By Far The Greatest Part Of His Work Is Careful Observation And Precise Thinking. That Is Why Mechanics Sometimes Seem So Taciturn And Withdrawn When Performing Tests. They Don't Like It When You Talk To Them Because They Are Concentrating On Mental Images, Hierarchies, And Not Really Looking At You Or The Physical Motorcycle At All. They Are Using The Experiment As Part Of A Program To Expand Their Hierarchy Of Knowledge Of The Faulty Motorcycle And Compare It To The Correct Hierarchy In Their Mind. They Are Looking At Underlying Form.
