If you can understand, should you be considered a child or an adult?

I once looked forward to your growing up,
and paid the price for it, and
despite Hook's obstruction in every possible way,
you are still beautiful and picturesque.

You say you don't want to grow up,
then I'll cover up the embarrassment,
even though you and I are suffering,
I'm still willing to let you be a complete Peter Pan.

But in the end it's all a fairy tale, and you can only be him in my story.

The truth is that I'm not brave enough
to let you suffer and fall off a cliff;
trust is trying to make you and me, and in the
end we all forget it;
now I'm also punished,
how can I let it go...

Peter Pan quotes

  • Wendy: I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

    Peter: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

    [Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away]

    Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

    Wendy: There is so much more.

    Peter: What? What else is there?

    Wendy: I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

    Peter: Well, I will not grow up. You cannot make me!

  • Peter: [after bumping his head on waking up] I was not asleep.
