“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
― Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often 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, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.

― The Velveteen Rabbit
