More quotes by James M. Barrie
You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
James M. Barrie
I've sometimes thought . . . that the difference between us and the English is that the Scotch are hard in all other respects but soft with women, and the English are hard with women but soft in all other respects.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!
James M. Barrie
One's religion is whatever he is most interested in.
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
It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent.
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.
James M. Barrie
The best of our fiction is by novelists who allow that it is as good as they can give, and the worst by novelists who maintain that they could do much better if only the public would let them.
James M. Barrie
After a time he fell asleep, and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy.
James M. Barrie
That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.
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 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
