You look quite nice too, " Peter said, startling me. "Now that I have the mask on? Thank you kindly." "No," he said. "With or without the mask. More so without the mask I'd say."

The child is the little friend of all things, Sahib," he answered. "She is not as other children. I see her when she does not see me. I slip across the slates and look at her many nights to see that she is safe. I watch her from my window when she does not know I am near. She stands on the table there and looks out at the sky as if it spoke to her.

The winter was a wretched one. There were days on which Sara tramped through snow when she went on her errands; there were worse days when the snow melted and combined itself with mud to form slush; there were others when the fog was so thick that the lamps in the street were lighted all day.

If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.

A Little Princess - Citação [21]

When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in—that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies.

When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word—just to look at them and THINK.

One of her "pretends" was that Emily was a kind of good witch who could protect her. Sometimes, after she had stared at her until she was wrought up to the highest pitch of fancifulness, she would ask her questions and find herself ALMOST feeling as if she would presently answer. But she never did.

Her trick of pretending things was the joy of her life. She never spoke of it to girls she was not fond of. Her new "pretend" about being a princess was very near to her heart, and she was shy and sensitive about it. She had meant it to be rather a secret, and here was Lavinia deriding it before nearly all the school.

Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book.

(...) she reached his side, she just leaned against the balustrade, and said "I wish I could see the stars."


Simon looked at her, first with surprise, then with curiosity.


"You can never see them in London," she continued, keeping her voice purposefully light. "Either the lights are too bright, or the fog has rolled in or sometimes the air is just too filthy to see through it." She shrugged and glanced back up at the sky, which was overcast. "I'd hoped that I'd be able to see them here in Hampstead Heath. But alas, the clouds do not cooperate."

"Well, it is. One of her 'pretends' is that she is a princess. She plays it all the time—even in school. She says it makes her learn her lessons better. She wants Ermengarde to be one, too, but Ermengarde says she is too fat."

"She IS too fat," said Lavinia. "And Sara is too thin."

Naturally, Jessie giggled again.

Anyone who has been at school with a teller of stories knows what the wonder means—how he or she is followed about and besought in a whisper to relate romances; how groups gather round and hang on the outskirts of the favored party in the hope of being allowed to join in and listen. Sara not only could tell stories, but she adored telling them. When she sat or stood in the midst of a circle and began to invent wonderful things, her green eyes grew big and shining, her cheeks flushed, and, without knowing that she was doing it, she began to act and made what she told lovely or alarming by the raising or dropping of her voice, the bend and sway of her slim body, and the dramatic movement of her hands. She forgot that she was talking to listening children; she saw and lived with the fairy folk, or the kings and queens and beautiful ladies, whose adventures she was narrating. Sometimes when she had finished her story, she was quite out of breath with excitement, and would lay her hand on her thin, little, quick-rising chest, and half laugh as if at herself.

"When I am telling it," she would say, "it doesn't seem as if it was only made up. It seems more real than you are—more real than the schoolroom. I feel as if I were all the people in the story—one after the other. It is queer."

Sara was to be what was known as "a parlor boarder," and she was to enjoy even greater privileges than parlor boarders usually did.

She was mistaken, however, in thinking she was an ugly child. She was not in the least like Isobel Grange, who had been the beauty of the regiment, but she had an odd charm of her own. She was a slim, supple creature, rather tall for her age, and had an intense, attractive little face. Her hair was heavy and quite black and only curled at the tips; her eyes were greenish gray, it is true, but they were big, wonderful eyes with long, black lashes, and though she herself did not like the color of them, many other people did.

He sighed and turned in the direction of the southest tower. It was time to have his stitches taken out. And time for him to stop thinking about Rose. Past time. He should never have allowed himself to dwell on her beauty, her anaffected manners, her seewt but determined temperament.

Besides, he knew his duty, which was to wed the daughter of the Duke of Marienberg. Their grandfather had quarreled and become enemies years before.

Peter Pan - Citação [6]


Peter Pan - 2003
Of course they lived at 14 [their house number on their street], and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one. She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more; and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner.

The way Mr. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her. He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss. He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss. Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.

Peter Pan - J.M. Barrie

Peter Pan - Citação [5]

Disney's Peter Pan
I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, 
three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.

[...]

Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. That is why there are night-lights.

-Esta é minha cidade Robert, suas curvas, seus recantos escondidos. Eu queria conhecê-la. Não apenas as polidas mansões e jardins esculpidos, mas as portas de madeira empenadas, as varandas enferrujadas, as telhas quebradas. E as pessoas que nela vivem. Eu os conheço. Eu posso negociar com um ferriero, vender mais que um jornaleiro, ou pechinchar uma torta com um padeiro sovina.

O tom alegre na sala se desintegrou com seu olhar sombriu. Robert e sua mãe trocaram breves olhares. Tensão se agarrava à mesa do jantar, os integrantes mantinham-se eretos, cada cabeça, cada ombro, cada braço suspenso no espesso ar.

O céu estava azul naquele dia, o dia em que a carta de Tio Henry chegou. Azul e abrangente sobre as colinas curvas e gargantas ásperas da fronteira. Os raios de sol ainda não tinham afugentado o ar frio da manhã quando Robert terminou seus afazeres e se juntou a seu pai ao lado do curral para assistir o cavaleiro que se aproximava.

Para onde ir agora? Não para o palácio. Não para aquela prisão dourada de sua madrasta com suas barreiras de tapeçarias e fechaduras de filigrana.

Para pensar, se ela fosse clandestinamente a um daqueles cascos rangentes, ela poderia colocar os pés em um país estrangeiro. O chamariz da água puxava como um gancho alojado na pele de seu peito.

O corpo ágil dela deslizou na multidão, e tirou vantagem do caos que preenchia o caminho. Esquivando-se de bebedouros, fardos de feno, e suplementos para piquenique, ela ziguezagueava pela feira. Diversas vezes ela achou que o tinha perdido de vista apenas para ter um lampejo da cabeça escura na vista.

Talvez ele fosse desistir no emaranhado de ruas laterais. Ela irrompeu da multidão, abaixou-se na barreira de corda, e arremessou-se em um beco, onde sua estratégia foi por água abaixo. Uma vez que ele estava livre da multidão, a velocidade e a resistência de Robert se tornaram determinantes. As batidas de seus passos se aceleraram e, menos de cinco edifícios abaixo, uma mão forte se fechou no seu braço direito e a sacudiu para parar. Ela lutou por um segundo, desistiu, e descansou as mãos nos quadris.

Aurelia - Citação [16]

Robert Vantauge inclinou-se confortavelmente contra a parede do salão de baile, com os braços unidos através do peito, uma inclinação confiante da cabeça. Ele havia deixado a capital por quatro anos, seu pai tinha escolhido se mudar com a família para a transtornada região norte do reino. Robert estava de volta sob o pretexto de visitar seu primo Chris. No entanto, Chris, que estava de pé ao lado dele, mal tinha recebido um momento de atenção essa noite.

Os olhos de Robert seguiram a figura de Aurelia dançando através de todo o salão, sem pestanejar. Eles brilhavam muito azuis sob suas características escuras e cabelo castanho escaracolado. Muitas das meninas próximas já haviam observado aqueles olhos, mas tinham desistido de conseguir sua contemplação.

Ele estava em estado de choque. A menina magricela que ele se lembrava se sua infância tinha se tornado uma mulher jovem, esbelta, aguda e teimosa. Ele pôde ver a sua entrada no salão de banquetes no início da noite. Ela andava com confiança, seu cabelo castanho espesso disposto em um penteado complicado, sua tiara de diamante descansando em cima do crescente escuro das sobrancelhas; sua pele de canela que deslizava sobre suas bochechas, seu queixo levantado, e sobre a suave curva da linha da sua mandíbula. Ela manteve os ombros nus com aprumo sobre o decote de seu vestido claro. 

Ele quase não a tinha reconhecido e não o teria feito se não fosse por aqueles olhos escuros familiares, brilhando com intensidade. À primeira vista, ele temia que um personagem polido tivesse substituído a rebelde teimosa do seu passado, mas não passou muito tempo até a elegância começar a desvanecer-se. Ela havia ficado inquieta até o fim do discurso do rei, e e agora ela dissecava a cabeça de um nobre que havia pisado no pé dela. Robert sorriu com satisfação da manifestação inadequada.

Durante semanas, toda a equipe se apressou daqui para lá, se preparando para a estréia de Melony. O salão de festas e o piso do salão de banquetes foram encerados, e altas velas carmesim queimaram em castiçais de ouro em cada canto das salas. Rosas de hastes longas se abriram em buquês de quinze ramos uma para cada um dos quinze anos que levaram a esse aniversário excepcional. A seda verde claro para o vestido de Melony foi importada com ano de antecedência, e os músicos do palácio vinham praticando a muito tempo. No princípio, Aurelia tinha gostado dos belos ritmos das danças que infestavam os corredores do palácio, mas ela tinha começado a associar o som da sintonia com a chegada de uma grande dor de cabeça.

Seu pai e sua mãe lhe ensinaram a valorizar as pessoas que estavam dispostas a discordar dele. – Muito melhor isto, que colocar a sua confiança em alguém que negará o seu apoio em uma situação perigosa – disse sua mãe.

Então caminhou pelas largas portas do estábulo e sentiu sua mandíbula cair. Fileiras atrás de fileiras de baias intermináveis se estenderam diante dele, cada corredor brilhantemente iluminado apesar do tardar da hora. Os corredores sujos tinham sido varridos, e o cheiro do feno fresco abafou até mesmo o odor de esterco.

À sua direita, uma porta aberta revelava uma sala conjunta do tamanho de um pequeno celeiro. Ele virou em direção à ela, encarando com admiração as perfeitas fileiras inclinadas de rédeas e cabrestos organizados por tamanho. Mantas, limpas e dobradas, cobriam duas prateleiras, e nas prateleiras restantes ficavam não menos do que duas dúzias de selas, de todos os tipos, todos os tamanhos, todas as tonalidades.
