James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
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
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
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
James M. Barrie
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
