More quotes by James M. Barrie
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
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
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
One's religion is whatever he is most interested in.
James M. Barrie
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water.
James M. Barrie
Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?
James M. Barrie
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.
James M. Barrie
i know i'm not clever but i'm always right.
James M. Barrie
He was a poet and they are never exactly grown-up.
James M. Barrie
As soon as you can say what you think and not what some other person has thought for you, you are on the way to being a remarkable man.
James M. Barrie
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie
If I were younger, I'd know more.
James M. Barrie
But the years came and went without bringing the careless boy and when they met again Wendy was a married woman, and Peter was no more to her than a little dust in the box in which she had kept her toys.
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
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
Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true.
James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
She was a large woman who seemed not so much dressed as upholstered.
James M. Barrie
