Velveteen Rabbit

Life will show it's wear tear on most of us in one way or another. But if we didn't get our hair loved off and get wobbly in our joints from a full life of adventure then what would we be? I venture to say we'd be perfect and shiny and new on a shelf unhurt, untouched and unloved. We wouldn't have become real in any way. (Credit The Velveteen Rabbit)
