asleep to rummage in their minds
James M. Barrie
It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
James M. Barrie
Oh the gladness of their gladness when they're glad, And the sadness of their sadness when they're sad But the gladness of their gladness, and the sadness of their sadness, Are as nothing to their badness when they're bad
James M. Barrie
Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again.

I sometimes think, Mary, that it is a mistake to have a dog for a nurse.
James M. Barrie
Second to the right, and straight on till morning.' That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland but even birds, carrying maps and consulting them at windy corners, could not have sighted it with these instructions. Peter, you see, just said anything that came into his head.
James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.
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
In dinner talk it is perhaps allowable to fling any faggot rather than let the fire go out.
James M. Barrie
I know, I feel, that with the introduction of tobacco England woke up from a long sleep. Suddenly a new zest had been given to life. The glory of existence became a thing to speak of. Men who had hitherto only concerned themselves with the narrow things of home put a pipe into their mouths and became philosophers.
James M. Barrie
I bowl so slowly that if I don't like a ball I can run after it and bring it back
James M. Barrie
There is a saying in the Neverland that,every time you breathe, a grown-up dies.
James M. Barrie
Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?
James M. Barrie
Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.
James M. Barrie
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
James M. Barrie
I think it's perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls.
James M. Barrie
