Famous quotes containing the word stevenson:

    If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say “give them up,” for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    The obscurest epoch is to-day.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    O to dream, O to awake and wander
    There, and with delight to take and render,
    Through the trance of silence,
    Quiet breath;
    Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses,
    Only the mightier movement sounds and passes;
    Only winds and rivers,
    Life and death.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
