"If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride and hug it in my arms, for I, at least, have lived a full life, Peter Pan. I have been a child, I have been a youth, I have been a man, a scholar, and a gentleman. I have sailed the sea with the finest navy to see sun, moon, or sky set. In short, I have lived a full life. Whereas you are a pathetic creature forever locked in the self-serving egocentricities of childhood. You will never be a youth, and you will never be a man! So finish me now and be done with it!"
