Teddy Wisdom: Conferring humanity
"What makes the project most compelling, however, is that as we look at these inanimate creatures, we can’t help but peer into the souls of their soulless fabric bodies and imbue them with human feelings, confer upon their manufactured mugs human expressions: How joyful some look, happy to have been loved this hard, and how sad others, confused and devastated by their inevitable replacement with a child, a husband, a dog, or some other token of what Tolkien called "grownupishness". - from Much Loved by Mark NixonTeddy Wisdom: Teddy bears are people, too.
