James M. Barrie
Wise children always choose a mother who was a shocking flirt in her maiden days, and so had several offers before she accepted their fortunate papa.
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
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
James M. Barrie

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
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
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
Next year he did not come for her. She waited in a new frock because the old one simply would not meet, but he never came. Perhaps he is ill, Michael said. You know he is never ill. Michael came close to her and whispered, with a shiver, Perhaps there is no such person, Wendy! and then Wendy would have cried if Michael had not been cry
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
Don't have a mother,' he said. Not only had he no mother, but he had not the slightest desire to have one. He thought them very over-rated persons.
James M. Barrie
If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.
James M. Barrie
I sometimes think, Mary, that it is a mistake to have a dog for a nurse.
James M. Barrie
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
James M. Barrie
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
James M. Barrie
He was never more sinister than when he was most polite.
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
You canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable.
James M. Barrie
