Hare Quotes

“I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.”
― Warren Buffett

“Good habits are the basic tools that will determine whether you are a tortoise
or hare in life!”
― Lucas Remmerswaal, 13 Habits.com The tale of Tortoise Buffett and Trader Hare: Inspired by Warren Buffett

“Is it birthday weather for you, dear soul?
Is it fine your way,
With tall moon-daisies alight, and the mole
Busy, and elegant hares at play
By meadow paths where once you would stroll
In the flush of day?”
― Cecil Day-Lewis, The Complete Poems of C. Day Lewis

“You must really want to win with all of your heart! Plan your race; do not ever get side tracked. Focus on your goal - “the finishing line”!”

“It was so awful! And he kept on looking at me and I knew I must get out of bed or he'd come and touch me. I did, too, but when I got out I wasn't me-I was a little white bunny. And he started out of the room and I had to go with him for fear he'd touch me. It felt so horrid, going out with him and looking back at mother there asleep.

"We went into the main part of the house, and one of the big front doors was open, and we went out through it. And then he gave a big jump, and so did I, and it took us clear up into the sky. We couldn't fly, but we kept jumping and jumping.

"Sometimes we stayed in the sky a little while, jumping from cloud to cloud, and the moon would get closer and closer and bigger and bigger, and its face would change and get horrible and grin at us until it seemed like its mouth was a mile wide and open, to swallow us up. And then we'd come down again and jump from one cliff to another, and the sea would be roaring down under us, and the waves all grey and cold and moving around and boiling like they were mad or afraid.

"We went all over the island and sometimes we jumped over the sea to the mainland and back again; and sometimes I tried to get away and run back to Mother - I thought she'd know me even if I was a bunny - but always, whichever way I turned, the hare was there in front of me, and his teeth were shining.

"We kept it up all night, and I was so tired and cold and miserable, and so scared. I didn't know whether he would ever let me go home or whether he would take me to Aunt Sarai. Then finally I did get away and the hare chased me!"

She broke off, her voice rising again to a wail.

"It was so awful! I ran all over the island, into all sorts of queer little places that I never knew were there before - it seems so different after dark - and finally, when two or three times I'd been so tired that I thought I just couldn't go any farther, before he caught me, I saw the house in front of me and the front door still open and I started to run in, and then I thought - what if they'd planned it that way, and Aunt Sarai had come down from her portrait and was inside there in the dark, waiting for me?”
― Evangeline Walton, Witch House

“Men spend their time in following a ball or a hare; it is the pleasure even of kings.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“When, that evening, Vatanen slowly ski’d back from Vittumainen Ghyll to Laahkima Gorge, accompanied by his hare, he no longer thought about Kaartinen’s strange world. There was a half-moon, and the stars were glimmering faintly in the frozen evening. He had his own world, this one, and it was fine to be here, living alone in one’s own way. The hare ambled silently along the trail ahead of the skier, like a pathfinder. Vatanen sang to it.”
― Arto Paasilinna, The Year of the Hare

“A face on him as long as a hare's back leg.”
― Myles na gCopaleen

“One late-autumn day I opened the back door to fetch some water, and there was a young hare sat on my back step. Save for the twitching of its nose, it froze in position as if I had surprised it as it was about to knock. It was already the size of a full-grown rabbit, and its black-tipped ears were longer than any rabbit’s would ever be. I stood there and waited for it to flush. After a while I began to doubt that it would, and squatted down to its level for a closer look, eye to eye. It stared at me apparently unconcerned, chewing silently, with bulging eyes that were such a rich golden colour they were almost orange, with black depths like the keyhole of a door to another world.”
― Neil Ansell, Deep Country: Five Years in the Welsh Hills

“A hare's movement seems plagued by the flicks and judders of restrained energy, as if carrying an ache that can only be relieved by running. The rest of the time it's as though they're absorbing the earth's energy, tapped into a ley line, shivering with pent-up static”
― Rob Cowen, Common Ground

“He took the juiciest leg and neck meat, slicing each piece down the middle...
... and layered them so they could be wrapped into a single ballotine tube. Then he sautéed it in a frying pan, successfully subduing its distinctive odor while cooking it to perfect juicy tenderness!
The sauce was a red wine reduction using hare bone fond and meat...
... which was then infused with foie gras, chocolate and the hare's own blood, making it the perfect accompaniment.”
― Yuto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 29 [Shokugeki no Souma 29]

“It's a layer of Royale !
It's very similar to Japan's Chawanmushi !"
*Royale is a savory custard of eggs, consommé and spices baked in a water bath until firm. It's usually cut into fanciful shapes and used as a soup garnish.*
"What?!"
Mmmm! The savoriness of consommé and porcini mushrooms gushes through the mouth! Its texture its satiny, melting on the tongue in a silky rush!
Royale hare and Royale eggs- both kingly dishes have been combined together seamlessly. But that isn't the only thing hidden in this dish!
There's also a chestnut confit and an apple and fig puree! The mellow, savory flavor of the egg custard resonates with refreshing notes of sweet and tart from the fruits...
... cutting through the thick richness of the hare meat until it tastes so light you could finish the whole dish in a breeze!
All this without losing an ounce of the dish's heavily powerful impact!”
― Yuto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 29 [Shokugeki no Souma 29]

“She shot Rose a look before turning to the hare. She seasoned it, set it in the jug with herbs, bacon, a blade of mace, an onion stuck with cloves, two wineglasses of port, a tablespoonful of currant jelly, and a covering of thin broth, and put it on the heat. Then she moved on to the orange cream. Being fastidious in culinary matters- why estimate and run the risk of being wrong, when you might measure and always be exact?- she took out her balance and weighted the sugar which Rose had ground.”
― Janet Gleeson, The Thief Taker

“Slow and steady wins the race' sounds good only in story books. In real life, aim to be the hare who does not stop to rest.”
― Ibn Jeem

“Marvellous places, kitchens. Full of food, y'know.”
― Brian Jacques, Taggerung

“Tortoise ran to win and he did. Did somebody tell you that hare ran for fun, not to win? Nobody you told what the tortoise got after winning. Hare enjoyed running and resting as well.”

“So that's the Wanmono Soup made by Satoshi Isshiki...
... the so-called Master of Aggressive Japanese Cuisine."
"Look how beautifully it's plated! Even the ingredient colors are coordinated!"
"A true work of art!"
"Just looking at it sucks me in."
"But the taste... how does it taste?!
Is it as delicious as it is gorgeous?!"
"Just one sip of the broth was enough to send a shock wave surging through my body. Delicately constructing a wanmono soup out of just hare and konbu is difficult enough.
But to incorporate clam stock as well?! And so seamlessly too!"
"Clams?!"
"Wait, the soup broth is hare... and also clam?! How does that even work?!"
"There are four major components of a proper wanmono soup.
Suiji --- the broth that forms the backbone of the dish
Sukuchi --- the ingredients that accent the dish's aroma
Wandane --- the main ingredient of the soup
Wanzuma --- the side ingredients that complement the wandane
Blending the hare and clam stocks in a seven-to-three ratio infused the suiji broth with the mellow, salty body of the clams...
... putting a new, delicious spin on the traditional wanmono soup broth!
And the fresh, tangy aroma of yuzu fruit in the suikuchi accent neatly underscores that flavor, making it stand out all the more!
With this, he's done nothing short of innovatively reinventing a traditional Japanese soup stock!”
