More quotes by James M. Barrie
I am not young enough to know everything.
James M. Barrie
Wendy: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient! Peter: How am I deficient? Wendy: You're just a boy.
James M. Barrie
There are, I dare say, many lovers who would never have been drawn to each other had they met for the first time, as, say, they met the second time.
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
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
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
Oh, the cleverness of me!
James M. Barrie
They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate.
James M. Barrie
You canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable.
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
In dinner talk it is perhaps allowable to fling any faggot rather than let the fire go out.
James M. Barrie
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie
He was a poet and they are never exactly grown-up.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie
If 'Hamlet' had been written in these days it would probably have been called 'The Strange Affair at Elsinore.
James M. Barrie
Them that has china plates themsel's is the maist careful not to break the china plates of others
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
I do loathe explanations.
James M. Barrie
Men's second childhood begins when a woman gets a hold of him.
James M. Barrie
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
James M. Barrie
