More quotes by 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
We have a right to know the truth no right to ask anything else from God, but the right to know that.
James M. Barrie
One girl is worth more use than 20 boys.
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 am not young enough to know everything.
James M. Barrie
It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent.
James M. Barrie
Feeling that Peter was on his way back, the Neverland had again woke into life. We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened, but woke is better and was always used by Peter.
James M. Barrie
Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?
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
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
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
Fairies don’t live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them
James M. Barrie
Second to the right, and straight on till morning.' That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland but even birds, carrying maps and consulting them at windy corners, could not have sighted it with these instructions. Peter, you see, just said anything that came into his head.
James M. Barrie
Always try to be a litle kinder than necessary.
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
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
James M. Barrie
A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie
They have long lost count of the days, but always if they want to do anything special they say this is saturday night, and then they do it.
James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
