James M. Barrie
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
James M. Barrie
After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness no one except Peter.
James M. Barrie
I think it's perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
James M. Barrie
I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not, it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
James M. Barrie
Wendy: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient! Peter: How am I deficient? Wendy: You're just a boy.
