“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.
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 Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit

“Once you are real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

“I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano, A stage where every man must play a part, And mine a sad one.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”
― Maya Angelou
