If there's one thing I've learned, it's, in fact, the thought couched on paper, properly argued, and thoroughly footnoted that counts.
"But a hare, now, that is a different thing altogether. A hare is not a pet but a person. Hares are clever and brave and loving, and they have fairy blood in them. It’s a grand thing to have a hare for a friend."
