Additional quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.

Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I ask, the heaven above
And the road below me.

Thus in the best fabric of duplicity, there is some weak point, if you can strike it, which will loosen all.
