Rabbits Quotes - Page 7

• Before a Cat will condescend To treat you as a trusted friend, Some little token of esteem Is needed, like a dish of cream; And you might now and then supply Some caviare, or Strassburg Pie, Some potted grouse, or salmon paste — He's sure to have his personal taste. (I know a Cat, who makes a habit Of eating nothing else but rabbit, And when he's finished, licks his paws So's not to waste the onion sauce.) A Cat's entitled to expect These evidences of respect. And so in time you reach your aim, And finally call him by his name.

• You once said to me that I talk like a man in a book. I not only talk, but think and feel like one. I have spent my life in books; literature has deeply dyed my brain its own colour. This literary colouring is a protective one--like the brown of the rabbit or the checks of the quail--making it impossible for me to tell where literature ends and I begin.

• Nothing out of the ordinary ever occurs to me when I'm by myself. But you attract duels, ambushes, immortal enemies, obscure creatures such as the Ra'zac, long-lost family members, and mysterious acts of magic as if they were were starving weasels and you were a rabbit that wandered into their den.

• Había querido vivir para siempre como una gitana; había querido vivir para siempre como una niña, cayendo por una madriguera de conejos. Se me habían concedido ambos deseos, sólo para descubrir que la inmortalidad no era lo que prometía ser; en lugar de un pasaporte al futuro, era un yugo que me ataba al pasado.

• No se tienen en cuenta en absoluto los intereses de las "plagas"; la propia palabra "plaga" parece excluir cualquier preocupación por los propios animales. Pero la clasificación de "plaga" es la nuestra, y un conejo que es una plaga es tan capaz de sufrir, y tan merecedor de consideración, como un conejo blanco que es un querido animal de compañía.

• La trampa para peces existe gracias a los peces. Una vez conseguido el pez puedes olvidarte de la trampa. La trampa para conejos existe por el conejo. Una vez conseguido el conejo, puedes olvidar la trampa. Las palabras existen por su significado. Una vez que has conseguido el significado, puedes olvidar las palabras. ¿Dónde puedo encontrar a un hombre que haya olvidado las palabras para poder hablar con él?

• Marriage is a wrestling match where you hold on tight while your mate changes into a hundred different things. The trick is that you're changing into a hundred other things, but you can't let go. You can only try to match up and never turn into a wolf while he's a rabbit, or a mouse while he's still busy being an owl, a brawny black bull while he's a little blue crab scuttling for shelter. It's harder than it sounds.
