More quotes by 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
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
He looked at her uncomfortably blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.
James M. Barrie
You [Scots] come of a race of men the very wind of whose name has swept to the ultimate seas.
James M. Barrie
All children, except one, grow up.
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
Peter invented, with Wendy's help, a new game that fascinated him enormously, until he suddenly had no more interest in it, which, as you have been told, was what always happened with his games. It consisted in pretending not to have adventures.
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
When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies.
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
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
There are, I dare say, many lovers who would never have been drawn to each other had they met for the first time, as, say, they met the second time.
James M. Barrie
For when you looked into my mother's eyes you knew, as if He had told you, why God sent her into the world - it was to open then minds of all who looked to beautiful thoughts. And that is the beginning and end of literature.
James M. Barrie
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
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
I bowl so slowly that if I don't like a ball I can run after it and bring it back
James M. Barrie
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
James M. Barrie
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
James M. Barrie
Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!
James M. Barrie
The fairies, as their custom, clapped their hands with delight over their cleverness, and they were so madly in love with the little house that they could not bear to think they had finished it.
James M. Barrie
