Robert Louis Stevenson
Jekyll had more than a father's interest Hyde had more than a son's indifference.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
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
Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.
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
Death is given in a kiss the dearest kindnesses are fatal and into this life, where one thing preys upon another, the child too often makes its entrance from the mother's corpse.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every child can remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
Robert Louis Stevenson
