…Dickey Perrott, you Jago whelp, look at them – look hard. Some day if you are clever – cleverer than anyone in the Jago right now – if you’re only scoundrel enough, and brazen enough, and lucky enough – one of a thousand – maybe you’ll be like them: bursting with high living, drunk when you like, red and pimply. There it is – that’s your aim in life – there’s your pattern. Learn to read and write, learn all you can, learn cunning, spare nobody and stop at nothing, and perhaps – It’s the best the world has for you, for the Jago’s got you, and that’s the only way out, except gaol and the gallows. So do your devil most, or God help you, Dicky Perrot – though he wont: for the Jago’s got you!

Robert M. Pirsig

What was behind this smug presumption that what pleased you was bad or at least unimportant in comparison to other things? … Little children were trained not to do “just what they liked’ but … but what? … Of course! What others liked. And which others? Parents, teachers, supervisors, policemen, judges, officials, kings, dictators. All authorities.When you are trained to despise “just what you like” then, of course, you become a much more obedient servant of others — a good slave. When you learn not to do “just what you like” then the System loves you.
