James M. Barrie
We have a right to know the truth no right to ask anything else from God, but the right to know that.
James M. Barrie
Some day,' said Smee, 'the clock will run down, and then he'll get you.' Hook wetted his dry lips, 'Aye,' he said, 'that's the fear that haunts me.
James M. Barrie
For when you looked into my mother's eyes you knew, as if He had told you, why God sent her into the world - it was to open then minds of all who looked to beautiful thoughts. And that is the beginning and end of literature.
James M. Barrie
