If nobody fought in wars, there wouldn’t be any, would there? But you can’t get old rabbits to see that.

I have learned that with creatures one loves, suffering is not the only thing for which one may pity them. A rabbit who does not know when a gift has made him safe is poorer than a slug, even though he may think otherwise himself.

There is nothing that cuts you down to size like coming to some strange and marvelous place where no one even stops to notice that you stare about you.
