More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Fiction is to the grown man what play is to the child it is there that he changes the atmosphere and tenor of his life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other, both in mind and body.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If they only married when they fell in love, most people would die unwed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Under the strain of this continually impending doom and by the sleeplessness to which I now condemned myself, ay, even beyond what I had thought possible to man, I became, in my own person, a creature eaten up and emptied by fever, languidly weak both in body and mind, and solely occupied by one thought: the horror of my other self.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jew storekeepers have already learned the advantage to be gained from this [unlimited credit]: they lead on the farmer into irretrievable indebtedness, and keep him ever after as their bondslave hopelessly grinding in the mill.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When I was a boy, I was a bit puzzled, and hardly knew weather it was myself or the world that was curious and worth looking into. Now I know that it is myself, and stick to that.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, I'm sure-- Or else his dear Papa is poor.
Robert Louis Stevenson
With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night That somehow the right is the right And the smooth shall bloom from the rough: Lord, if that were enough?
Robert Louis Stevenson
A man should stop his ears against paralyzing terror and run the race that is set before him with a single mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make the most of the best and the least of the worst.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The only noble thing a man can do with money is to build a schooner.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.
Robert Louis Stevenson
