James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies.
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
You just think lovely wonderful thoughts, Peter explained, and they lift you up in the air.

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
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

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
You canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable.
James M. Barrie
Will they reach the nursery in time? If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story. On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
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
Years rolled on again, and Wendy had a daughter. This ought not to be written in ink but in a golden splash.
James M. Barrie
He was never more sinister than when he was most polite.
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
