James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.

I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie
David tells me that fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.

James M. Barrie
I know, I feel, that with the introduction of tobacco England woke up from a long sleep. Suddenly a new zest had been given to life. The glory of existence became a thing to speak of.

James M. Barrie
If 'Hamlet' had been written in these days it would probably have been called 'The Strange Affair at Elsinore.
James M. Barrie
He was never more sinister than when he was most polite.
James M. Barrie
When ladies used to come to me in dreams, I said, 'Pretty mother, pretty mother.' But when at last she really came, I shot her.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
