More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Of what shall we be proud of if we are not proud of our friends?
Robert Louis Stevenson
A man finds he has been wrong at every stage of his career, only to deduce the astonishing conclusion that he is at last entirely right.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place and night after night a man's bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
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
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
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
Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the right and wrong of this. I cannot tell you.
Robert Louis Stevenson
O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is certainly some chill and arid knowledge to be found upon the summits of formal and laborious science but it is all round about you, and for the trouble of looking, that you will acquire the warm and palpitating facts of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sit loosely in the saddle.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It was Silver's voice, and before I had heard a dozen words, I would not have shown myself for all the world. I lay there, trembling and listening, in the extreme of fear and curiostiy, for, in those dozen words, I understood that the lives of all the honest men aboard depended on me alone.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The saddest object in civilization, and to my mind the greatest confession of its failure, is the man who can work, who wants work, and who is not allowed to work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
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
It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Here it is about gentlemen of fortune. They lives rough, and they risk swinging, but they eat and drink like fighting-cocks, and when a cruise is done, why, it's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I smoke a pipe abroad, because To all cigars I much prefer it, And as I scorn you social laws, My choice has nothing to deter it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
