: : What does this Quote by Robert Louis Stevenson mean?
: : "It is better to travel hopefully than it is to arrive."

: I take it to mean that the pleasurable anticipation of something is better than the disappointing reality of its actually happening. A rather pessimistic view of life, perhaps.

: DFG

But a pleasant trip lasts longer than the moment of arrival.
