More quotes by Anton Chekhov
What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won't seem important at all.
Anton Chekhov
The unhappy are egoistic, spiteful, unjust, cruel, and less capable of understanding each other than fools. Unhappiness does not bring people together but draws them apart, and even where one would fancy people should be united by the similarity of their sorrow, far more injustice and cruelty is generated than in comparatively placid surroundings.
Anton Chekhov
A person loves to talk about his illnesses although that is the least interesting part of his life.
Anton Chekhov
All saints have past and all sinners have a future.
Anton Chekhov
My holy of holies is the human body.
Anton Chekhov
Instructing in cures, therapists always recommend that each case be individualized. If this advice is followed, one becomes persuaded that those means recommended in textbooks as the best, means perfectly appropriate for the template case, turn out to be completely unsuitable in individual cases.
Anton Chekhov
Useless pursuits and conversations always about the same things absorb the better part of one's time, the better part of one's strength, and in the end there is left a life grovelling and curtailed, worthless and trivial, and there is no escaping or getting away from it—just as though one were in a madhouse or prison.
Anton Chekhov
Every coming year is as bad as the previous one, the only difference being that in most cases it is even worse.
Anton Chekhov
He who desires nothing, hopes for nothing, and is afraid of nothing, cannot be an artist.
Anton Chekhov
The air of one's native country is the most healthy air.
Anton Chekhov
The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.
Anton Chekhov
Everything should be first-rate in a person, his face, clothes, soul and thoughts.
Anton Chekhov
Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.
Anton Chekhov
Eyes - the head's chief of police. They watch and make mental notes.
Anton Chekhov
When one sees one of the romantic creatures before him he imagines he is looking at some holy being, so wonderful that its one breath could dissolve him in a sea of a thousand charms and delights but if one looks into the soul -- it's nothing but a common crocodile.
Anton Chekhov
One usually dislikes a play while writing it, but afterward it grows on one. Let others judge and make decisions.
Anton Chekhov
In descriptions of nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture.
Anton Chekhov
If you cry 'forward', you must without fail make plain in what direction to go.
Anton Chekhov
The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on science and art are as well.
Anton Chekhov
Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.
Anton Chekhov
