“What is REAL?” asked the
rabbit one day ... “Does it all
happen at once or bit by bit?”
“ It doesn ’t happen all at
once,” said the Skin Horse.
“You become. It takes a long
time. That’s why it doesn’t
often happen to people who
break easily, or have sharp
edges, or who have to be
carefully kept. Generally, by
the time you are Real, most of
your hair has been loved off,
your eyes drop out and you
get loose in the joints and very
shabby. But these things don’t
matter at all, because once
you are Real you can’t be
ugly, except to people who
don’t understand.”
-Margery Swilliams' The Vel­
veteen Rabbit
