More quotes by James M. Barrie
He was never more sinister than when he was most polite.
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
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
One's religion is whatever he is most interested in.
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
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
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
I think it's perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls.
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
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
Every man who is high up likes to think he has done it all himself and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. It's our only joke. Every woman knows that.
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
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
Some of my plays peter out and some pan out.
James M. Barrie
All children, except one, grow up.
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
Wise children always choose a mother who was a shocking flirt in her maiden days, and so had several offers before she accepted their fortunate papa.
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
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
James M. Barrie
