J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"لكن السنوات مضت وتوالت دون أن تحمل معها الصبي اللاهي؛ وحين التقيا مجددًا، كانت ويندي قد أصبحت امرأة متزوجة، ولم يعد بيتر في نظرها سوى ذرة غبار في علبة ألعابها القديمة."

"But the years came and went without bringing the careless boy; and when they met again Wendy was a married woman, and Peter was no more to her than a little dust in the box in which she had kept her toys."

J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"I wasn't crying about mothers," he said rather indignantly. "I was crying because I can't get my shadow to stick on. Besides, I wasn't crying."
"لم أكن أبكي بسبب الأمهات،" قال بشيء من الامتعاض. "كنت أبكي لأنني لا أستطيع أن أُثبّت ظلي. ثم إنني لم أكن أبكي."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"But where do you live mostly now"With the lost boys."Who are they"They are the children who fall out of their perambulators when the nurse is looking the other way. If they are not claimed in seven days they are sent far away to the Neverland to defray expanses. I'm captain."What fun it must be!"Yes," said cunning Peter, "but we are rather lonely. You see we have no female companionship."Are none of the others girls"Oh no; girls, you know, are much too clever to fall out of their prams."

"إنهم الأطفال الذين يسقطون من عرباتهم حين تكون المربية مشغولة بالنظر في اتجاه آخر. وإذا لم يطالب بهم أحد في غضون سبعة أيام، يُرسلون بعيدًا إلى أرض نيفرلاند لتغطية النفقات. أنا قائدهم."
"يا له من أمر ممتع!"
"نعم،" قال بيتر الماكر، "لكننا نشعر بالوحدة نوعًا ما. كما ترين، ليس لدينا رفيقات من الإناث."
"أليست هناك فتيات بين الآخرين؟"
"أوه لا؛ الفتيات، كما تعلمين، أذكى بكثير من أن يسقطن من عرباتهن."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent."

"All remember about my mother," Nibs told them, "is that she often said to my father, 'Oh, how I wish I had a cheque-book of my own!' I don't know what a cheque-book is, but I should just love to give my mother one."
"كل ما أتذكره عن أمي،" قال نيبس لهم، "هو أنها كانت تقول لأبي غالبًا: 'آه، كم أتمنى لو كان لدي دفتر شيكات خاص بي!' لا أعرف ما هو دفتر الشيكات، لكني أتوق لأن أهدي أمي واحدًا."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

"You need not be sorry for her. She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than the other girls."
"لا داعي لأن تشفق عليها. لقد كانت من النوع الذي يحب أن يكبر. وفي النهاية، كبرت بمحض إرادتها يوماً أسرع من سائر الفتيات."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John’s, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingos flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents..."
"تختلف أراضي نيفرلاند بالطبع اختلافًا كبيرًا. فجون، على سبيل المثال، كانت له بحيرة تطير فوقها طيور الفلامنغو التي كان جون يطلق عليها النار، بينما مايكل، الذي كان صغيرًا جدًا، كانت له فلامنغو تطير فوقها البحيرات. عاش جون في قارب مقلوب على الرمال، ومايكل في خيمة هندية، وويندي في بيت من الأوراق المخيطة ببراعة. لم يكن لجون أصدقاء، وكان لمايكل أصدقاء في الليل، أما ويندي فكان لها ذئب أليف هجره والداه..."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"Off we skip like the most heartless things in the world, which is what children are, but so attractive; and we have an entirely selfish time, and then when we have need of special attention we nobly return for it, confident that we shall be rewarded instead of smacked."
"ننطلق قفزًا كأكثر الكائنات قسوة في العالم، وهذا ما يكونه الأطفال، لكنهم آسرون للغاية؛ فنقضي وقتًا أنانيًا بحتًا، ثم حين نحتاج إلى اهتمام خاص، نعود إليه بشموخ، واثقين بأننا سنُكافأ بدلًا من أن نُصفع."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

"On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"It was not really Saturday night, at least it may have been, for they had long lost count of the days; but always if they wanted to do anything special they said this was Saturday night, and then they did it."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"He did not alarm her, for she thought she had seen him before in the faces of many women who have no children. Perhaps he is to be found in the faces of some mothers also."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ 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."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"It was then that Hook bit him. Not the pain of this but its unfairness was what dazed Peter. It made him quite helpless. He could only stare, horrified. Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly. All he thinks he has a right to when he comes to you to be yours is fairness. After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness; no one except Peter."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"Pan, who and what art thou" he 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."

"For long the two enemies looked at one another, Hook shuddering slightly, and Peter with the strange smile upon his face."So, Pan," said Hook at last, "this is all your doing."Ay, James Hook," came the stern answer, "it is all my doing."Proud and insolent youth," said Hook, "prepare to meet thy doom."Dark and sinister man,“For long the two enemies looked at one another, Hook shuddering slightly, and Peter with the strange smile upon his face."Dark and sinister man," Peter answered, "have at thee."
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
"He peeped in again to see why the music had stopped, and now he saw that Mrs. Darling had laid her head on the box, and that two tears were sitting on her eyes.'She wants me to unbar the window,' thought Peter, 'but I won't, not I!'He peeped again, and the tears were still there, or another two had taken their place.'She's awfully fond of Wendy,' he said to himself. He was angry with her now for not seeing why she could not have Wendy. The reason was so simple: 'I'm fond of her too. We can't both have her, lady."
