More quotes by James M. Barrie

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
She was a large woman who seemed not so much dressed as upholstered.
James M. Barrie
His lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants' hall.
James M. Barrie
We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.
James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
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
She adored all beautiful things in their every curve and fragrance, so that they became part of her. Day by day, she gathered beauty had she had no heart (she who was the bosom of womanhood) her thoughts would still have been as lilies, because the good is the beautiful.
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 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
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
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
James M. Barrie
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
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
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
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
After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness no one except Peter.
James M. Barrie
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
James M. Barrie
Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them. For instance, they may remember to mention, a week after the event happened, that when they were in the wood they had met their dead father and had a game with him.
James M. Barrie
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
James M. Barrie
