What a wonderful way to celebrate a wonderful writer. To celebrate and remember him, some of his best quotes:
“I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
One my aunt wrote in the autograph book I had as a child -
“A friend is a gift you give yourself.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
“Wine is bottled poetry.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
“Everyone, at some time or another, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
Fantastic!
