Love Quote by John Bach

“Kids love rabbits... they just like them” lands with the blunt charm of someone refusing to dress up a simple truth for adult consumption. As an actor, John Bach is trained to sell subtext; here, the move is to strip it away. The ellipsis does the real work: it’s a tiny pause that mimics an adult beginning to rationalize (Is it the softness? the innocence? the storybook factor?) and then stopping himself. No, it’s not that deep. They just like them.

The intent feels quietly corrective. Adults are forever trying to translate children’s taste into lessons, symbolism, or psychology, especially around animals: rabbits as purity, fertility, vulnerability, plush-toy friendliness. Bach’s line shrugs at that interpretive overreach. It suggests a world in which liking is allowed to be immediate and non-performative, unbothered by the demand to justify. In a culture that increasingly treats preference as identity and consumption as a statement, “just like them” is almost rebellious.

There’s also a soft critique of adult cynicism. Kids don’t love rabbits because they’re “useful” or “cool” or because loving them signals virtue. They love them because rabbits are small, odd, quick, tactile - a bundle of sensory delight and gentle unpredictability. The subtext is that children are still close to the kind of attention adults spend years talking themselves out of: direct, unembarrassed, free of irony. The line works because it refuses to monetize wonder, and makes that refusal sound like common sense.
