More quotes by James M. Barrie
What a polite game tennis is. The chief word in it seems to be sorry and admiration of each other's play crosses the net as frequently as the ball.
James M. Barrie
She was not a little girl heart-broken about him she was a grown woman smiling at it all, but they were wet smiles.
James M. Barrie
Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.
James M. Barrie
I am not young enough to know everything.
James M. Barrie
Always try to be a litle kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.
James M. Barrie
Will they reach the nursery in time? If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story. On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
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
He looked at her uncomfortably blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.
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
All children, except one, grow up.
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
Again came that ringing crow, and Peter dropped in front of them. Greeting, boys, he cried, and mechanically they saluted, and then again was silence. He frowned. I am back, he said hotly, why do you not cheer?
James M. Barrie
Forget not your past, for in the future it may help you grow
James M. Barrie
Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!
James M. Barrie
