1 " To die will be an awfully big adventure. "
― J.M. Barrie , Peter Pan
2 " You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting. "
3 " All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust. "
4 " We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be. "

6 " Peter was not quite like other boys; but he was afraid at last. A tremour ran through him, like a shudder passing over the sea; but on the sea one shudder follows another till there are hundreds of them, and Peter felt just the one. Next moment he was standing erect on the rock again, with that smile on his face and a drum beating within him. It was saying, "To die will be an awfully big adventure. "
7 " When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her, he said, ‘Who is Tinker Bell?’ ‘O Peter,’ she said, shocked; but even when she explained he could not remember. ‘There are such a lot of them,’ he said. ‘I expect she is no more.’ I expect he was right, for fairies don’t live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them. "
8 " when I become death. Death is the seed from which I grow. "

9 " The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive "
― Stanley Kubrick , Peter Pan

11 " If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing. "
12 " The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it. "
13 " Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time. "
14 " Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me. "
― Marilyn Monroe , Peter Pan
15 " She asked where he lived. Second to the right,' said Peter, 'and then straight on till morning. "
16 " Peter was not with them for the moment, and they felt rather lonely up there by themselves. He could go so much faster than they that he would suddenly shoot out of sight, to have some adventure in which they had no share. He would come down laughing over something fearfully funny he had been saying to a star, but he had already forgotten what it was, or he would come up with mermaid scales still sticking to him, and yet not be able to to say for certain what had been happening. It was really rather irritating to children who had never seen a mermaid. "
17 " I can't come,' she said apologetically, 'I have forgotten how to fly.''I'll soon teach you again.''O Peter, don't waste the fairy dust on me. "
18 " Fafhrd stopped, again wiped right hand on robe, and held it out. "Name's Fafhrd. Ef ay ef aitch ar dee."Again the Mouser shook it.

― Oscar Wilde , Peter Pan
20 " ...and as she was crossing to the day-nursery he added thoughtlessly, 'And shut that window. I feel a draught.' 'O George, never ask me to do that. The window must always be left open for them, always, always. "
