James M. Barrie
I do loathe explanations.
James M. Barrie
They have long lost count of the days, but always if they want to do anything special they say this is saturday night, and then they do it.

James M. Barrie
As soon as you can say what you think and not what some other person has thought for you, you are on the way to being a remarkable man.

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
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
The last thing he ever said to me was, 'Just always be waiting for me, and then some night you will hear me crowing.
James M. Barrie
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
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
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
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
