Robert Louis Stevenson
my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I sat in the sun on a bench the animal within me licking the chops of memory the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When I say writing, O believe me, it is rewriting that I have chiefly in mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
