Quotation from Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy) by J. M. Barrie
““I’m youth, I’m joy,” Peter answered at a venture, “I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.””
Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy), Chapter XV, "Hook or Me This Time" (Project Gutenberg text (1911 Peter and Wendy))
Hook, losing the duel, demands to know who and what Peter is; the narrator calls the answer nonsense that proves Peter does not know himself.
