The Velveteen Rabbit


You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't 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, 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. - The Velveteen Rabbit
