You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always think of you.
J. M. Barrie Quotes
Of all the 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 nearly real. That is why there are night-lights.
