Iskocyali roman ve tiyatro yazari, unlu Peter Pan'in yazari James Matthew Barrie'nin olum yildonumu (19 Haziran 1937)
"Biri disinda, butun cocuklar buyur ve buyuyeceklerini erken yasta ogrenirler. Wendy de soyle ogrendi: Iki yasindayken, bir gun bahcede oynuyordu. Bir cicek daha koparip, bu cicekle annesine kostu. Sanirim kucuk kiz pek sevimli gorunuyordu ki, Bayan Darling elini gogsune koyup, "Ah, keske hep boyle kalabilsen!" diye haykirdi. Bu konuda aralarinda gecen konusmanin hepsi buydu, ama Wendy bundan boyle buyumek zorunda oldugunu ogrenmisti. Bunu iki yasina girdikten sonra anlarsiniz hep. Iki yas, sonun baslangicidir."
"All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end."
