“It was a sanguinary [cheerful] affair, and especially interesting as showing one of Peter's peculiarities, which was that in the middle of a fight he would suddenly change sides. At the Gulch, when victory was still in the balance, sometimes leaning this way and sometimes that, he called out, "I'm redskin to-day; what are you, Tootles?" And Tootles answered, "Redskin; what are you, Nibs?" and Nibs said, "Redskin; what are you Twin?" and so on; and they were all redskins; and of course this would have ended the fight had not the real redskins fascinated by Peter's methods, agreed to be lost boys for that once, and so at it they all went again, more fiercely than ever.”
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Lorna Moon
“Mightent it be a good idea to have Aley approach Barrie about a preface while he is over there? But not for God's sake if you think somebody is going to say that I 'write like Barrie'. I once said that I'd always wanted to write 'as WELL as Barrie', and of course 'well' became 'like'. I don't write at all like Barrie. Do I?”
Lorna Moon, The Collected Works of Lorna Moon

George Douglas Brown
“Well, I suppose you have read the Green Shutters by this time. 'Tis a brutal and bloody work; too sinister, I should think, for a man of your kindlier disposition. There is too much black for the white in it. Even so, it is more complimentary to Scotland, I think, than the sentimental slop of Barrie and Crockett, and Maclaren. It was antagonism to their method that made me embitter the blackness; like old Gourlay I was "going to show the dogs what I thought of them." Which was a gross blunder, of course.”
George Douglas Brown
