More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
This profusion of eccentricities, this dream in masonry and living rock is not a drop scene in a theatre, but a city in the world of reality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer to forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If they only married when they fell in love, most people would die unwed.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Robert Louis Stevenson
But that is the object of long living, that man should cease to care about life.
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
A proposition of geometry does not compete with life and a proposition of geometry is a fair and luminous parallel for a work of art. Both are reasonable, both untrue to the crude fact both inhere in nature, neither represents it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
This grove, that was now so peaceful, must then have rung with cries, I thought and even with the thought I could believe I heard it ringing still.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The spirit, Sir, is one of mockery.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make the most of the best and the least of the worst.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no music like a little river's . . . It takes the mind out-of-doors . . . and . . . it quiets a man down like saying his prayers.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You cannot run away from weakness you must some time fight it out or perish and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
...those little people, my brownies, who do one half of my work for me while I am fast asleep, and in all human likelihood do the rest for me as well, when I am wide awake and fondly suppose I do for myself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
