More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man lives to any considerable age, it can not be denied that he laments his imprudences, but I notice he often laments his youth a deal more bitterly and with a more genuine intonation.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Now, to be properly enjoyed, a walking tour should be gone upon alone.... Freedom is of the essence, because you should be able to stop and go on and follow this way or that as the freak takes you.... There should be no cackle of voices at your elbow to jar on the meditative silence of the morning.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.
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
It is a mere illusion that, above a certain income, the personal desires will be satisfied and leave a wider margin for the generous impulse.
Robert Louis Stevenson
He who sows hurry reaps indigestion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a position to judge of its importance.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
