  1. Despite a long-lasting friendship by letter, JM Barrie & Robert Louis Stevenson never met, & Barrie never got to go to Samoa:

    “Vailima was the one spot on earth I had any great craving to visit… I shall never go up the Road of Loving Hearts now, on ‘a wonderful clear night of stars,’ to meet the man coming toward me on a horse.”

  7. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    A child should always say what’s true
       And speak when he is spoken to,

  8. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    And how many loves have perished because, from pride, or spite, or diffidence, or that unmanly shame which withholds a man from daring to betray emotion, a lover, at the critical point of the relation, has but hung his head and held his tongue?

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1879-05), “The Truth of Intercourse,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 39

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1881), “Virginibus Puerisque, Part 2”
