�Stars are beautiful, but they may not take an active part in anything; they must just look on for ever. It is a punishment put on them by something they did so long ago that no star now knows what it is.� [Peter Pan] �The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another, and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.� �The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is.� �The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.� �Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.� �To die will be an awfully big adventure.� [Peter Pan] �We are all failures--at least, the best of us are.� �We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it.� �What is algebra exactly; is it those three-cornered things?� �What is genius?- It is the power to be a boy again at will.� �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] |
