More quotes by James M. Barrie
The fairies, as their custom, clapped their hands with delight over their cleverness, and they were so madly in love with the little house that they could not bear to think they had finished it.
James M. Barrie
Our life is a book to which we add daily, until suddenly we are finished, and then the manuscript is burned.
James M. Barrie
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Some of my plays peter out and some pan out.
James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true.
James M. Barrie
They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate.
James M. Barrie
David tells me that fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.
James M. Barrie
Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
James M. Barrie
You just think lovely wonderful thoughts, Peter explained, and they lift you up in the air.
James M. Barrie
You canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable.
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
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
James M. Barrie
In England, justice is open to all - like the Ritz Hotel.
James M. Barrie
She adored all beautiful things in their every curve and fragrance, so that they became part of her. Day by day, she gathered beauty had she had no heart (she who was the bosom of womanhood) her thoughts would still have been as lilies, because the good is the beautiful.
James M. Barrie
Love is not blind it is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard.
James M. Barrie
