Цитаты из книги Peter Pan

You see children know such a lot now, they soon don't believe in fairies, and everytime a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.

All children, except one, grow up.

Питер был неизменно весел и счастлив. И все потому, что Соломон открыл ему главные птичьи правила: ВСЕГДА РАДОВАТЬ ГЛАЗ БЫТЬ ОТЗЫВЧИВЫМ НИКОГДА НЕ СИДЕТЬ СЛОЖА РУКИ А КОГДА ДЕЛАЕШЬ ДЕЛО, БЫТЬ УВЕРЕННЫМ, ЧТО ОНО ПОЛЕЗНОЕ И НУЖНОЕ

...Она рассказывает ему истории про него самого, которые он охотно слушает...

Они все обходили и обходили остров, но так и не встретились, потому что шли в одну сторону.

... И Питер тут же схватил ее и потащил к окну. — Отпусти сейчас же! — приказала она ему... Но, конечно же, ей это польстило...

Он был маленьким мальчиком, а она — взрослой женщиной. Но он ничего не заметил, потому что был занят собой. — Привет, Венди! — Привет, Питер! — ответила она, стараясь съежиться и выглядеть как можно меньше.

Динь была совсем не такая уж плохая - вернее, она была то совсем плохая, то вдруг совсем хорошая. С феями всегда так: они такие крошки, что, к несчастью, два разных чувства одновременно в них не умещаются.

This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

"Shall we still be respectful subjects of the King?" John inquired. Through Hook's teeth came the answer: "You would have to swear, `Down with the King.'" Perhaps John had not behaved very well so far, but he shone out now. "Then I refuse," he cried, banging the barrel in front of Hook. "And I refuse," cried Michael. "Rule Britannia!" squeaked Curly.

It must have been not less than ten o'clock by the crocodile, when he suddenly sat up in his bed, wakened by he knew not what.

"Tootles," she cried, "I appeal to you." "I am just Tootles," he said, "and nobody minds me. But the first who does not behave to Wendy like an English gentleman I will blood him severely."

"There was once a gentleman--" "I had rather he had been a lady," Curly said. "I wish he had been a white rat," said Nibs.

Peter had a sudden idea. "Perhaps Tink wants to be my mother?" "You silly ass!" cried Tinker Bell in a passion. She had said it so often that Wendy needed no translation. "I almost agree with her," Wendy snapped. Fancy Wendy snapping!

"Peter," she asked, trying to speak firmly, "what are your exact feelings to me?"

"Oh dear, oh dear," cried Wendy, "I'm sure I sometimes think that spinsters are to be envied."

Secretly Wendy sympathised with them a little, but she was far too loyal a housewife to listen to any complaints against father. "Father knows best," she always said, whatever her private opinion must be. Her private opinion was that the redskins should not call her a squaw.

Every boy had adventures to tell; but perhaps the biggest adventure of all was that they were several hours late for bed.
