I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie
Some of my plays peter out and some pan out.
James M. Barrie
The praise that comes of love does not make us vain, but humble rather. Knowing what we are, the pride that shines in our mother's eyes as she looks at us is about the most pathetic thing a man has to face, but he would be a devil altogether if it did not burn some of the sin out of him.
James M. Barrie
You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.
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
He was a little boy, and she was grown up. She huddled by the fire not daring to move, helpless and guilty, a big woman.
James M. Barrie
There could not have been a lovelier sight but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. He had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred.
James M. Barrie

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
If I were younger, I'd know more.
James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
One girl is worth more use than 20 boys.
James M. Barrie
David tells me that fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.
James M. Barrie
Peter invented, with Wendy's help, a new game that fascinated him enormously, until he suddenly had no more interest in it, which, as you have been told, was what always happened with his games. It consisted in pretending not to have adventures.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
James M. Barrie
I do loathe explanations.
James M. Barrie
Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?
James M. Barrie
We have a right to know the truth no right to ask anything else from God, but the right to know that.
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
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
James M. Barrie
