Robert Louis Stevenson
Image

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
Everything is true only the opposite is true too you must believe both equally or be damned.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Little do ye know your own blessedness for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson
