Quotes

  • “The best of our fiction is by novelists who allow that it is as good as they can give, and the worst by novelists who maintain that they could do much better if only the public would let them.”
    The Contemporary Review 1891
  • “The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.”
    The Little Minister, Chapter 1
  • “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.”
    The Little White Bird, Chapter 22
  • “The last thing he ever said to me was, “Just always be waiting for me, and then some night you will hear me crowing.””
    Peter and Wendy, Chapter 17
  • “You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.”
    Peter and Wendy, Chapter 3
