James M. Barrie
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?

James M. Barrie
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water.
James M. Barrie
On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
James M. Barrie
Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again.
James M. Barrie
It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent.
James M. Barrie
Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.
James M. Barrie
You won't forget me, Peter, will you, before spring-cleaning time comes? Of course Peter promised, and then he flew away. He took Mrs. Darling's kiss with him. The kiss that had been for no one else Peter took quite easily. Funny. But she seemd satisfied.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
James M. Barrie
