James M. Barrie
He was a little boy, and she was grown up. She huddled by the fire not daring to move, helpless and guilty, a big woman.
James M. Barrie
It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent.
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.
