If he be Mr. Hyde he had thought, I shall be Mr. Seek.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
It is almost as if the millennium were arrived, when we shall throw our clocks and watches over the housetop, and remember time and seasons no more. Not to keep hours for a lifetime is... to live forever.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson

To love is the great amulet that makes this world a garden.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
When I say writing, O believe me, it is rewriting that I have chiefly in mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
They say cowardice is infectious but then argument is, on the other hand, a great emboldener.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
These are my politics: to change what we can to better what we can but still to bear in mind that man is but a devil weakly fettered by some generous beliefs and impositions and for no word however sounding, and no cause however just and pious, to relax the stricture on these bonds.
