1 " Neverland is hers, it is precious; she will not give it to anyone to use as a weapon against her. It’s enough that Wendy knows, deep in her heart, that if she’d jumped, the sky would never let her fall. "
― A.C. Wise , Wendy, Darling
2 " She has the sudden impression that bits of his skin might lift away, like a mask hiding something terrible underneath. "
3 " Wendy is a creature made all of want, aching for the cold expression to melt from Peter's face, aching for her friend to take her hand and ask her to fly away with him. "
4 " Anger became her habit, Neverland her defence. "
5 " A toy, but one sharp enough for killing, because that's the kind of boy Peter is. "
6 " In a whole word built to fit his whims, Wendy is the fractured piece slipped out of place. "
7 " You have to stand up, even when you're scared, because if you let the monsters frighten you and take away the things you love, then they win. "
8 " Loving something means having something to lose. "
9 " Peter was always monster and boy both. "
10 " It is the deepest truth in all the world that her mother will never let anything bad happen to her. "
11 " Mothers are meant to keep their children safe, but also to prepare them for life. Help them grow. What can a mother be to a boy determined to remain perpetually young? Only a shadow, forever chained to him and trailing in his wake, bearing all his hurts so he doesn’t have to. "
12 " She hasn’t decided what truths or lies she’ll tell to others yet, but there’s one thing Jane is certain of – she will not lie to herself, and she will always remember. "
13 " Keep on loving her. It’s that simple, and that complicated. Love. Fight. Never back down. It’s time for her to grow up, truly. "
