More quotes by James M. Barrie
I do loathe explanations.
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
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 don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.
James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
You won't forget me, Peter, will you, before spring-cleaning time comes? Of course Peter promised, and then he flew away. He took Mrs. Darling's kiss with him. The kiss that had been for no one else Peter took quite easily. Funny. But she seemd satisfied.
James M. Barrie
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
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
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.
James M. Barrie
I sometimes think, Mary, that it is a mistake to have a dog for a nurse.
James M. Barrie
Don't have a mother,' he said. Not only had he no mother, but he had not the slightest desire to have one. He thought them very over-rated persons.
James M. Barrie
I know, I feel, that with the introduction of tobacco England woke up from a long sleep. Suddenly a new zest had been given to life. The glory of existence became a thing to speak of. Men who had hitherto only concerned themselves with the narrow things of home put a pipe into their mouths and became philosophers.
James M. Barrie
All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects that the danger may be creeping up from behind.
James M. Barrie
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
James M. Barrie
It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
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 girl is worth more use than 20 boys.
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
Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?
James M. Barrie
Years rolled on again, and Wendy had a daughter. This ought not to be written in ink but in a golden splash.
James M. Barrie
You were hidden behind walls of ice no man had passed them I broke them down and love leapt to love, and you lie here, my beautiful, love in the arms of its lover.
James M. Barrie
