Robert Louis Stevenson
Hope looks for unqualified success but Faith counts certainly on failure, and takes honorable defeat to be a form of victory.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The first experience can never be repeated. The first love, the first sun-rise, the first South Sea Island, are memories apart, and touched a virginity of sense.
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
I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.

Robert Louis Stevenson
