And I think getting to the end of the book, and seeing Pirsig descend into a pretty dark place in understanding quality being undefinable in any actionable way, I guess sometimes it's easier to just let go, and not understand something. A lot of times, understanding just makes us more miserable. Fantastic book, read it as a teenager and it deeply affected me.

A gross paraphrase I got was "I cant define quality, but I know it when I see it".

That's a great one! Something that can be validated yet not easily calculated. Kind of like hashing!
