A timeless reminder that being ‘Real’ means being truly loved — exactly as you are.
This beloved quote from The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams captures the quiet beauty of being deeply known and accepted. It’s a moving reflection on what it means to become “Real” — through love, time, and vulnerability.
This print features a vintage typewriter-style layout, simple and striking. Available framed or unframed, it makes a meaningful gift or a soulful addition to your home.

Quote:
“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 the 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, The Velveteen Rabbit
