My favorite part

"Real isn't how you are made,it's a thing that happens to you." "Does it hurt?" "Sometimes, when you are real, you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once,like being wound up,or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once.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 you hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.But these things don't matter at all,because onece you are Real,you can't be ugly,except to people who don't understand." ...... "Once you are Real,you can't become unreal again.It lasts for always."
