James M. Barrie
i know i'm not clever but i'm always right.
James M. Barrie

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
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
You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from man's rib she was made from his funny bone.

James M. Barrie
Peter invented, with Wendy's help, a new game that fascinated him enormously, until he suddenly had no more interest in it, which, as you have been told, was what always happened with his games. It consisted in pretending not to have adventures.
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
I think one remains the same person throughout, merely passing, as it were, i these lapses of time from one room to another, but all in the same house.
James M. Barrie
Our heroine knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back by so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time.
James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
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
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
