Robert M. Pirsig Quotes

During Periods Of Root Expansion Things Have Always Looked As Confused And Topsy-turvy And Purposeless As They Do Now. The Whole Renaissance Is Supposed To Have Resulted From The Topsy-turvy Feeling Caused By Columbus' Discovery Of A New World. It Just Shook People Up. The Topsy-turviness Of That Time Is Recorded Everywhere. There Was Nothing In The Flat-earth Views Of The Old And New Testaments That Predicted It. Yet People Couldn't Deny It. The Only Way They Could Assimilate It Was To Abandon The Entire Medieval Outlook And Enter Into A New Expansion Of Reason.
