All ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Quotes about “Giving”

“He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldnâ€™t specify the point. Heâ€™s an extraordinary-looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No sir; I can make no hand of it; I canâ€™t describe him. And itâ€™s not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.”

“It is better to be a fool than to be dead. It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity. Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!”
