For to have faith, is to have wings' Peter Pan

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

She also said she would give him a kiss if he liked, but Peter did not know what she meant, and he held out his hand expectantly.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Peter was not quite like other...

Peter was not quite like other boys; but he was afraid at last. A tremour ran through him, like a shudder passing over the sea; but on the sea one shudder follows another till there are hundreds of them, and Peter felt just the one. Next moment he was standing erect on the rock again, with that smile on his face and a drum beating within him. It was saying, 'To die will be an awfully big adventure.

Fairies don't live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them

Always be a littler kinder than necessary.

Odd things happen to all of us...

Odd things happen to all of us on our way through life without our noticing for a time that they have happened.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Of course the Neverlands vary ...

Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingos flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents...

...and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Never is an awfully long time....

Never is an awfully long time.

Wendy: Sir, you are both ungal...

Wendy: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient! Peter: How am I deficient? Wendy: You're just a boy.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Will they reach the nursery in...

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 Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

When she expressed a doubtful ...

When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her, he said, 'Who is Tinker Bell?' 'O Peter,' she said, shocked; but even when she explained he could not remember. 'There are such a lot of them,' he said. 'I expect she is no more.' I expect he was right, for fairies don't live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them.

Oh, the cleverness of me!...

Oh, the cleverness of me!

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

You see, dear, it is not true ...

You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from man's rib; she was made from his funny bone.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

One could mention many lovable...

One could mention many lovable traits in Smee. For instance, after killing, it was his spectacles he wiped instead of his weapon.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Courage: The lovely virtue-the...

Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Off we skip like the most hear...

Off we skip like the most heartless things in the world, which is what children are, but so attractive; and we have an entirely selfish time, and then when we have need of special attention we nobly return for it, confident that we shall be rewarded instead of smacked.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Feeling that Peter was on his ...

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 Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Of all the delectable islands ...

Of all the delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very nearly real. That is why there are night-lights.

James Matthew Barrie 257 quotes

Our life is a book to which we...

Our life is a book to which we add daily, until suddenly we are finished, and then the manuscript is burned.
