Richard Adams Quotes

As A Traveller In Some Far Wilderness Might By Chance Pick Up A Handful Of Stones From The Ground, Examine Them Idly And Then, With Mounting Excitement, First Surmise, Next Think It Probable And Finally Feel Certain That They Must Be Diamonds; Or As A Sea-captain, Voyaging In Distant Waters, Might Round An Unknown Cape, Busy Himself For An Hour With The Handling Of The Ship And Only Then, And Gradually, Realize That He - He Himself - Must Have Sailed Into None Other Than That Undiscovered, Fabled Ocean Known To His Forbears By Nothing But Legend And Rumour; So Now, Little By Little, There Stole Upon This Hunter The Stupefying, All-but-incredible Knowledge Of What It Must Be That He Had Seen.
