All children, except one, grow up.
Peter Pan
Opening words |
When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh
broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about,
and that was the beginning of fairies.
Peter Pan
Spoken by Peter Pan |
Every time a child says, 'I don't believe in
fairies,' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.
Peter Pan
Spoken by Peter Pan |
"Do you know," Peter asked, "why swallows build
in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories."
Peter Pan |
I'll teach you to jump on the wind's back, and away we go.
Peter Pan
Spoken by Peter Pan |
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
Peter Pan |
"Do you believe in fairies?
If you believe,"
he [Peter] shouted to them, "clap your hands; don't let
Tink die."
Peter Pan |
"Pan, who and what art thou?" he [Hook] cried huskily.
"I'm youth, I'm joy," Peter answered at a venture,
"I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg."
Peter Pan |
When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born,
and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies.
Peter Pan
Spoken by Wendy |
"Second to the right, and straight on till morning."
That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland
