Back in the 1950s and '60s, J. M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' — starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard — was regularly aired on network television during the Christmas season. I must have seen it four or five times and remember, in particular, Ritchard's gloriously camp interpretation of Captain Hook.

Unity is strength...The books that everybody admires are those...Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee...It is the supreme art of the teacher...The only thing that interferes with my learning...We don't stop playing because we grow old...
