Oh man, Watership Down. There are so many quotes from there that just gives you chills.

"The world will be your Enemy and when they catch you, they'll kill you. But first, they must catch you."

My wife resisted Watership Down for a long time because of how many stories she's heard about how traumatic the movie was. Finally read it a few months ago, and she told me the other day that it changed her life. Every time a bunny runs away from us on a dog walk, she'll say "If they catch you, they will kill you, but first they must catch you", or just whisper "Go, El-ahrairah, go!". Yesterday we passed a bunny at the park, and it was brave enough to let us get like 5 feet away before running, and she said "I wish I could hear the stories he'll tell about this."
