I won't bore you by presenting a bunch of quotes. I'd just like to state that
Patrick Doorly's book is chocked full of Quality insights. It is wonderful to
see Mr. Pirsig and the MoQ and art presented with such seriousness. Better
explanations! I find so many paragraphs inspire further reflection. Bravo!

Yes, Doorly certainly knows what he's talking about.
"Indeed we could characterize 'Being' as the ability to respond to the good or
bad, that is to Quality. In his second book, Lila, An Inquiry into Morals
(1991), Pirsig considered what a rational intellectual framework might look
like, if Quality is accepted as the primary reality. The metaphysics of Quality
(MOQ) he constructed to that end completes the project he began in Zen and the
Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. By restoring the Good to philosophical primacy,
he also repaired the damage wrought when Plato allowed knowledge to contain
it." -- (Patrick Doorly in The Truth About Art: Reclaiming Quality, page 128)
I think that pretty well sums up what Paul was saying in his recent essay.
