Oh. Now you are not so afraid, then?" Kitty opened her mouth, indignant. "I was not afraid before! I was... shocked. How many times do you see your orphanage roommate be able to turn someone into stone?"" Every time I look in the mirror.

About This Quote

This is a quote from Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, which is a story about a boy who never grows up and goes to Neverland where he has adventures with the fairy Tinker Bell. In the story, Peter refuses to grow up and will not leave Neverland because he is afraid of growing up.

In the end, he learns that he must grow up and leave Neverland. He says to Tinker Bell, “I’m afraid I’m going to have to leave you behind!” And she replies, “Oh. Now you are not so afraid, then?” This quote is a great example of Peter Pan believing in fairies instead of believing in himself and leaving Neverland for good.
