To live would be an awfully great adventure quote in book?
memvg534 asked:
I haven't read Peter Pan in several years, but I only remember the quote "To die would be an awfully great adventure" is the live quote in the book? If so where specifically what scene. Thank.
I just read the last 30 pages of Peter Pan and it's not one of the last sayings. Is it from the play or the first Peter Pan in the gardens book?

It's one of the last lines I think
i remember that by the movie because i have never read the book but i remember that from the scene were Peter Pan was in Wendy's room and he was trying to get her to go to Neverland with him. Wendy was thinking about all the things she was leaving behind like her mom and dad and her dog. But then she decides she doesn't want to grow up and leaves her home with Peter Pan and goes to Neverland. Hope I helped!
Actually, it's not in the last scenes, but there you might find the final moral of the story, where they turn the saying around and make it into: "To live would be an awfully great adventure."
The quote you are talking about appears in the middle of the book when Wendy and Peter are stuck on the rock in the ocean with the tide coming in. I believe the chapter is titled "The Kite", because Peter saves Wendy by tying the kite around her hip and letting her fly towards the shore.
Because he is a gentleman, he stays behind, ready to die for her. That's when he says: "To die would be an awfully great adventure!"
