James M. Barrie
But the years came and went without bringing the careless boy and when they met again Wendy was a married woman, and Peter was no more to her than a little dust in the box in which she had kept her toys.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
James M. Barrie
I've sometimes thought . . . that the difference between us and the English is that the Scotch are hard in all other respects but soft with women, and the English are hard with women but soft in all other respects.
James M. Barrie
Years rolled on again, and Wendy had a daughter. This ought not to be written in ink but in a golden splash.
James M. Barrie
He looked at her uncomfortably blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.
James M. Barrie
In love-making, as in other arts, those who do it best cannot tell how it is done.
James M. Barrie
Wendy: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient! Peter: How am I deficient? Wendy: You're just a boy.
James M. Barrie
Peter invented, with Wendy's help, a new game that fascinated him enormously, until he suddenly had no more interest in it, which, as you have been told, was what always happened with his games. It consisted in pretending not to have adventures.
James M. Barrie
