More quotes by James M. Barrie
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
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
I sometimes think, Mary, that it is a mistake to have a dog for a nurse.
James M. Barrie
In England, justice is open to all - like the Ritz Hotel.
James M. Barrie
Our life is a book to which we add daily, until suddenly we are finished, and then the manuscript is burned.
James M. Barrie
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
James M. Barrie
Nobody really wants us. So let us watch and say jaggy things, in the hope that some of them will hurt.
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 is a saying in the Neverland that,every time you breathe, a grown-up dies.
James M. Barrie
Oh, the cleverness of me!
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
She was a large woman who seemed not so much dressed as upholstered.
James M. Barrie
It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
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
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
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
The best of our fiction is by novelists who allow that it is as good as they can give, and the worst by novelists who maintain that they could do much better if only the public would let them.
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
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie
