James M. Barrie
One girl is worth more use than 20 boys.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.
James M. Barrie
Some of my plays peter out and some pan out.
James M. Barrie
