We make the world tolerable...


It is the history of our kindness that alone makes the world tolerable. If it were not for that, for the effect of kind words, kind looks, kind letters...I should be inclined to think our life a practical jest in the worst possible spirit.

~Robert Louis Stevenson

I've been seeing a few quotes from authors I haven't read or that I haven't read in the last ten years that are making me feel like going to the library to rediscover what I have overlooked.

This is a great quote.
