Quote by Robert M. Pirsig

Sanity is not truth. Sanity is conformity to what is socially expected. Truth is sometimes in conformity, sometimes not.

Sanity is not truth. Sanity is conformity to what is sociall

Summary

This quote suggests that sanity and truth are not always synonymous. Sanity is the state of being mentally sound and conforming to societal norms, while truth can transcend those norms. It implies that conformity to social expectations does not necessarily equate to discovering or understanding the truth. Truth can be found within the boundaries of conformity, but it can also exist beyond those boundaries. Hence, it highlights the notion that truth can sometimes defy societal norms and expectations.
