"To the extent that one's behavior is controlled by static patterns of

quality it is without choice. But to the extent that one follows
Dynamic Quality, which is undefinable, one's behavior is free."

(Pirsig, "Lila")

Note that Pirsig does not say that pursuing static patterns is behaving
without choice.  It is only without choice if static patterns CONTROL
 your behavior.
Also though FOLLOWING DQ is behaving freely, it doesn't mean
that there aren't other ways to behave freely.
