About This Quote
He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter. ~Roald Dahl He did not mind how he looked to other people because even though he was a shabby boy from a broken home, he was still Real. When you are Real, the world makes room for you because you are a part of it. The way a person looks is not what matters. It’s what is inside that counts.
