Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
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
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
To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
