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.
James M. BarrieWhen she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her, he said, โWho is Tinker Bell?โ โO Peter,โ she said, shocked; but even when she explained he could not remember. โThere are such a lot of them,โ he said. โI expect she is no more.โ I expect he was right, for fairies donโt live long, but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them.
James M. BarrieTimes have changed since a certain author was executed for murdering his publisher. They say that when the author was on the scaffold he said good-bye to the minister and to the reporters, and then he saw some publishers sitting in the front row below, and to them he did not say good-bye. He said instead, "I'll see you again."
