Quote by Robert Louis Stevenson

There is certainly some chill and arid knowledge to be found upon the summits of formal and laborious science; but it is all round about you, and for the trouble of looking, that you will acquire the warm and palpitating facts of life.


There is certainly some chill and arid knowledge to be found

Summary

This quote suggests that while formal and academic knowledge can provide valuable information, it can also be detached and lack the vibrancy of real-life experiences. The quote implies that true understanding and vitality can be found by simply observing and immersing oneself in the world, rather than solely relying on scientific or theoretical knowledge. By actively seeking and engaging with the realities of life, one can gain a deeper and more meaningful comprehension of it.
