Quote by James Barrie
A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force

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 dont find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting. – James Barrie

Other quotes by James Barrie
