More quotes by 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
In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation. If you are in a fit of the blues, go nowhere else.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
They say cowardice is infectious but then argument is, on the other hand, a great emboldener.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I wish these flies would piss off.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
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
I would rather do a good hours work weeding than write two pages of my best nothing is so interesting as weeding. I went crazy over the outdoor work, and at last had to confine myself to the house, or literature must have gone by the board.
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
An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We all know what Parliament is, and we are all ashamed of it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I incline to Cain's heresy, he used to say quaintly: I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
Robert Louis Stevenson
This is still the strangest thing in all man's travelling, that he should carry about with him incongruous memories.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There comes an end to all things the most capacious measure is filled at last and this brief condescension to evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Benjamin Franklin went through life an altered man because he once paid too dearly for a penny whistle. My concern springs usually from a deeper source, to wit, from having bought a whistle when I did not want one.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We should wipe two words from our vocabulary: gratitude and charity. In real life, help is given out of friendship, or it is not valued it is received from the hand of friendship, or it is resented.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The person who has stopped being thankful has fallen asleep in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
