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
This meal happened to be a make-believe tea, and they sat round the board guzzling in their greed and really, what with their chatter and recriminations, the noise, as Wendy said, was positively deafening.
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
Nobody really wants us. So let us watch and say jaggy things, in the hope that some of them will hurt.
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
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
