    The quote is Chap. 29 of LIla:

    "It adds that this good is not a social code or some intellectualized
    Hegelian Absolute. It is direct everyday experience. Through this
    identification of pure value with pure experience, the Metaphysics of
    Quality paves the way for an enlarged way of looking at experience which
    can resolve all sorts of anomalies that traditional empiricism has not
    been able to cope with."
