Summary

This quote sheds light on romance as a deceptive and unattainable pursuit, likening it to the "rabbit at the dog track" that the dogs perpetually chase but can never catch.

Just as the dogs run in circles attempting to catch the rabbit, people often find themselves chasing an idealized version of love that is always out of reach. The quote portrays romance as a diversionary tactic, keeping individuals occupied and contained within safe boundaries.
