James M. Barrie
There could not have been a lovelier sight but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. He had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
James M. Barrie
You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, there's always someone who wants to destroy it.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie
What is afraid?' asked Peter longingly. He thought it must be some splendid thing. 'I do wish you would teach me how to be afraid, Maimie,' he said.
James M. Barrie
We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.
James M. Barrie
That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.
James M. Barrie
Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
James M. Barrie
So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!
James M. Barrie
