More quotes by James M. Barrie
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water.
James M. Barrie
If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!
James M. Barrie
Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.
James M. Barrie
As soon as you can say what you think and not what some other person has thought for you, you are on the way to being a remarkable man.
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
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie
Men's second childhood begins when a woman gets a hold of him.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
I think one remains the same person throughout, merely passing, as it were, i these lapses of time from one room to another, but all in the same house.
James M. Barrie
All children, except one, grow up.
James M. Barrie
This meal happened to be a make-believe tea, and they sat round the board guzzling in their greed and really, what with their chatter and recriminations, the noise, as Wendy said, was positively deafening.
James M. Barrie
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
James M. Barrie
So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!
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
Never is an awfully long time.
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
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
How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?
James M. Barrie
