Basses: 
We are eviler far than the tenors are!
Tenors: 
It is true that the basses have eviler faces, but we are more evil inside!
from Leonard Bernstein's lyrics, "Pirate Song"
For our Peter Pan, growing up literally means having completed the growth phase of life and thus entering a phase of stagnation. Peter, on the other hand, embraces perpetually sustaining the childlike and youthful natural state of discovering, learning and developing.
