More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To have suffered ... sets a keen edge on what remains of the agreeable. This is a great truth and has to be learned in the fire.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You have no idea, unless you have tried it, how endlessly long is a summer's day, that you measure out only by hunger, and bring to an end only when you are drowsy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To cast in it with Hyde was to die a thousand interests and aspirations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And this shall be for music when no one else is near, The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear! That only I remember, that only you admire, Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of wine, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes
Robert Louis Stevenson
Times are changed with him who marries there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. Idleness, which is often becoming and even wise in the bachelor, begins to wear a different aspect when you have a wife to support.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jekyll had more than a father's interest Hyde had more than a son's indifference.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
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
There is indeed one element in human destiny that not blindness itself can controvert: whatever else we are intended to do, we are not intended to succeed failure is the fate allotted. It is so in every art and study it is so above all in the continent art of living well.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The very flexibility and ease which make men's friendships so agreeable while they endure, make them the easier to destroy and forget.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
