Famous quotes containing the words louis st and/or louis:

    Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
