I am not young enough to know everything.
James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
James M. Barrie
What is afraid?' asked Peter longingly. He thought it must be some splendid thing. 'I do wish you would teach me how to be afraid, Maimie,' he said.
James M. Barrie
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.

James M. Barrie
We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.
James M. Barrie
As soon as you can say what you think and not what some other person has thought for you, you are on the way to being a remarkable man.
James M. Barrie
Girls are much too clever to fall out of their prams
James M. Barrie
Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.
James M. Barrie
It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
James M. Barrie
They have long lost count of the days, but always if they want to do anything special they say this is saturday night, and then they do it.
James M. Barrie
The man of science appears to be the only man who has something to say just now, and the only man who does not know how to say it.
James M. Barrie
There are, I dare say, many lovers who would never have been drawn to each other had they met for the first time, as, say, they met the second time.
James M. Barrie
The gates of heaven are so easily found when we are little, and they are always standing open to let children wander in.
James M. Barrie
You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from man's rib she was made from his funny bone.
James M. Barrie
