More quotes by James M. Barrie
asleep to rummage in their minds
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Years rolled on again, and Wendy had a daughter. This ought not to be written in ink but in a golden splash.
James M. Barrie
A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.
James M. Barrie
You just think lovely wonderful thoughts, Peter explained, and they lift you up in the air.
James M. Barrie
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
James M. Barrie
