Peter Pan, The story of lost childhood - Kathleen Kelley-Laine

Peter Pan- A person desperately seeking for ways to stop them selfs from maturing and growing up in desperate attempt of preserving their inner child. "The story of Peter Pan is the story of a sad child, a child so sad that he refused to grow up. Usually stories tell you how to grow up; Peter Pan tells you how to stay in one place for ever, how to live in the Never Never Land."

"One of the principal characteristics of these flights is that the baby is marked for life by the nostalgic desire to be held in it's mothers arms in the hope of reliving those strong sensations of the very beginning of life. All these departures are in fact desperate attempts at finding a second chance; especially when the feeling of being human has not been established with sufficient force. Fights such as these are looked upon as great adventures , while in fact the eternal search for lost childhood is a real tragedy."

"We left our home one wintery night while all the neighbours were still asleep, our home that was later to become the Never Never Land of my life"

"Was he suddenly feeling the full weight of experience of when he left his nest of origin? It is vert difficult for a human being to grow up, because it means abandoning a nest that has ever been so comfortable"

"Going and coming back also allows us to revisit our old nest from time to time, and reassures us about what we were. Eventually this becomes unnecessary, because what we were in the past has become an integral part of what we are now, in the present."

"choosing one's sexuality means agreeing to grow up and accepting the prospect of dying one day."

"Despite all the fascinating adventures he had in the Never Never Land, Peter Pan still felt the need to journey to London from time to time. In fact he was motivated by what he felt to be the kind of nostalgic yearning among the lost boys for stories and fairytales.
