Nature & Animals Quote by Kit Williams

A dog chasing a rabbit is the oldest story about desire with its teeth out: all velocity, no arrival. Kit Williams frames that familiar tableau as a moral fable, but the real move is subtler. He isn’t just wagging a finger at greed; he’s warning about how easily a life can be organized around motion that feels like purpose. The rabbit is “unattainable” not because it’s literally impossible, but because it’s designed to stay ahead, like status, upgrades, or the next proof you’ve “made it.” The dog’s chase becomes a loop that rewards effort while quietly stealing attention.

Williams matters here because his public persona is tied to play, puzzles, and the seductive pull of hidden treasure. Masquerade turned an ornate children’s book into a real-world obsession: thousands scoured the countryside for a buried jewel. In that context, the line reads like a self-aware wink from someone who knows how enchantment can tip into compulsion. The dog and rabbit aren’t neutral mascots; they’re a critique of the very bait-and-chase mechanics that make quests, consumer culture, and even ambition feel thrilling.

The subtext lands on an uncomfortable truth: “material goals” often masquerade as narrative. They give you a plot, enemies, milestones, and a reason to keep running. Williams suggests the only way out is to recognize the chase as a story you’re being sold - and decide, deliberately, to stop auditioning for it.
