    Erin:
     
    The paragraph below that begins with, "The narrative of ZMM...", was written
    by Pirsig, not me. Also, it was Pirsig who said, "Lila does and does not
    have quality at the same time". But, yea. I suppose we all have some
    Phaedrus and some Rigel in us, including you, me and Pirsig.

    DMB: The narrative of ZMM is dominated by the compassion of the narrator for
    his son even though he doesn't talk about it as such, and when Phædrus says
    Lila has quality he is speaking compassionately and is held in contempt for
    this by Rigel [the lawyer character epitomising social values in LILA].
    Rigel is arguing that Phædrus' compassion for Lila is damned foolishness.
    Phædrus struggles in subsequent chapters to show that it is intellectually
    sound.

    ERIN: So when you say Lila has quality and doesn't have quality, then you
    must be a little bit of Phaedrus and a little bit of Rigel eh ;-)
