More quotes by James M. Barrie
Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.
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
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
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

James M. Barrie
He was a poet and they are never exactly grown-up.
James M. Barrie

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
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
There could not have been a lovelier sight but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. He had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred.
James M. Barrie
Anything is possible if you wish hard enough.
James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
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
Oh, the cleverness of me!
James M. Barrie
Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!
James M. Barrie
When ladies used to come to me in dreams, I said, 'Pretty mother, pretty mother.' But when at last she really came, I shot her.
James M. Barrie
