If you wish the pick of men and women, take a good bachelor and a good wife
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Love- what is love? A great and aching heart Wrung hands and silence and a long despair
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend.
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
To cast in it with Hyde was to die a thousand interests and aspirations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To love is the great amulet that makes this world a garden.
Robert Louis Stevenson
This grove, that was now so peaceful, must then have rung with cries, I thought and even with the thought I could believe I heard it ringing still.
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
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
