“The main skill is to keep from getting lost. Since theroads are used only by local people who know them bysight nobody complains if the junctions arent posted.And often they arent. When they are its usually asmall sign hiding unobtrusively in the weeds andthats all. County-road-sign makers seldom tell youtwice. If you miss that sign in the weeds thats your problem, not theirs.” (Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, p.16)

“What I would like to do is use the time that is coming now totalk about some things that have come to mind. Were in sucha hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. Theresult is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotonythat leaves a person wondering years later where all the timewent and sorry that its all gone. Now that we do have sometime, and know it, I would like to use the time to talk in somedepth about things that seem important.” (Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, p.17)

“There is a knife moving here. A very deadly one; anintellectual scalpel so swift and so sharp that yousometimes dont see it moving. You get the illusionthat all those parts are just there and are beingnamed as they exist. But they can be named quitedifferently and organized quite differently dependingon how the knife moves.” (Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, p.81)

“Zero, originally a Hindu number, was introduced tothe West by the Arabs during the Middle Ages and wasunknown to the Ancient Greeks and Romans. How wasthat?... Had nature so subtely hidden zero that all theGreeks and all the Romans - millions of them - couldntfind it? One would normally think that zero is right outthere in the open for everyone to see.” (Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, p.237)
