More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When I was a boy, I was a bit puzzled, and hardly knew weather it was myself or the world that was curious and worth looking into. Now I know that it is myself, and stick to that.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Love- what is love? A great and aching heart Wrung hands and silence and a long despair
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation. If you are in a fit of the blues, go nowhere else.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I am in the habit of looking not so much to the nature of a gift as to the spirit in which it is offered.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Extreme busyness, whether at school or college, kirk or market, is a symptom of deficient vitality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
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.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway. The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
Robert Louis Stevenson
