so I’m reading Watership Down again like I do when I want to be a hero and I’m realizing my leadership style is ripped literally from this book and Hazel in particular. witness:
“I don’t care if he is in the Owsla,” thought Hazel. “If we get away from the warren, I’m not going to let Bigwig run everything, or why bother to go?” But he answered only, “Good. We shall be glad to have you.”
pure August leadershipz right there
El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world, for I will not have it so. All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Richard Adams, from Watership Down (via beltofvenus)

my copy of Watership crackles as I open it. I haven’t in too many years. got a little squiggly in my stomach – I love this book.
