Richard Adams idézet

Richard George Adams angol író, kinek legismertebb műve a Watership Down című állatregény. Az egyetemen újkori történelmet tanult, mielőtt megkezdte volna a katonai szolgálatot a második világháború alatt. 1946-ban szerelt le, és tért vissza az egyetemre. Ezután egy minisztériumban kezdett el dolgozni, ahol a szabadidejét írással töltötte. 2010-ben vonult vissza. Műveiben visszatérő szereplők a különböző állatok, motívumai között pedig gyakran felbukkan a túlélésért folytatott harc, a természet és az ember kapcsolata, a bátorság és a becsületesség összecsapása a zsarnoksággal és a félelmekkel. Állatszereplői viselkedését hitelesen ábrázolja.

Magyarországon néhány novelláján kívül a Watership Down jelent meg , valamint a The Plague Dogs . Wikipedia

“Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. For them there is no winter food problem. They have fires and warm clothes. The winter cannot hurt them and therefore increases their sense of cleverness and security. For birds and animals, as for poor men, winter is another matter. Rabbits, like most wild animals, suffer hardship.”

Forrás: The Plague Dogs (1977)

“When the man was disgraced and told to go away, he was allowed to ask all the animals whether any of them would come with him and share his fortunes and his life. There were only two who agreed to come entirely of their own accord, and they were the dog and the cat. And ever since then, those two have been jealous of each other, and each is for ever trying to make man choose which one he likes best. Every man prefers one or the other.”
