Pirsig has stated clearly that Quality cannot be defined.  If Quality 
is defined as "betterness", how would you explain/dismiss the following:

If everything is betterness, and there is nothing that is not 
betterness, then there is no meaning to betterness, for there is no 
way of distinguishing a difference between betterness and nonbetterness.

[Krimel]
That is my understanding of the Taoist view. Betterness is a relative term.
It describes a relationship. Lao Tsu said this about it:

"That which a person knows he has, is known to him by that which he does not
have. That which he considers difficult seems so because of that which he
can do with ease. 

One thing seems long by comparison with that which is, short. 
One thing is high because another thing is low; only when sound ceases is
quietness known, and that which leads is seen to lead only by being
followed."
