Men's second childhood begins when a woman gets a hold of him.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
Life is a long lesson in humility.
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
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
