About this Quote

This quote by James M. Barrie talks to the happiness and liberty of youth. It is a suggestion that youth is a time of exploration and discovery, which it is a time to break out of the egg and spread one's wings. The imagery of a little bird breaking out of an egg is a powerful metaphor for the procedure of growing up and becoming independent. It is a pointer that youth is a time of joy and exploration, which it is essential to make the most of this time to learn and grow. The quote likewise speaks with the importance of taking dangers and welcoming modification, as the little bird is taking a threat by breaking out of the egg and embracing the unidentified. Eventually, this quote is a pointer to accept the delight and freedom of youth and to take threats and explore the world.
