More quotes by Anton Chekhov
Flies purify the air, and plays - the morals.
Anton Chekhov
I would like to be a free artist and nothing else, and I regret God has not given me the strength to be one.
Anton Chekhov
You confuse two things: solving a problem and stating a problem correctly. It is only the second that is obligatory for an artist.
Anton Chekhov
After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, Oh! Life is so hard! and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.
Anton Chekhov
Your talent sets you apart: if you were a toad or a tarantula, even then, people would respect you, for to talent all things are forgiven.
Anton Chekhov
A person loves to talk about his illnesses although that is the least interesting part of his life.
Anton Chekhov
Sports are positively essential. It is healthy to engage in sports, they are beautiful and liberal, liberal in the sense that nothing serves quite as well to integrate social classes, etc., than street or public games.
Anton Chekhov
Of course politics is an interesting and engrossing thing. It offers no immutable laws, nearly always prevaricates, but as far asblather and sharpening the mind go, it provides inexhaustible material.
Anton Chekhov
If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It's better to live somehow than not 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
Oh, I have now a mania for shortness. Whatever I read - my own or other people's works - it all seems to me not short enough.
Anton Chekhov
Write, write, write-till your fingers break.
Anton Chekhov
If our life has a meaning, an aim, it has nothing to do with our personal happiness, but something wiser and greater.
Anton Chekhov
A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.
Anton Chekhov
What a fine weather today! Can’t choose whether to drink tea or to hang myself.
Anton Chekhov
It's even pleasant to be sick when you know that there are people who await your recovery as they might await a holiday.
Anton Chekhov
we all have too many wheels, screws and valves to judge each other on first impressions or one or two pointers. I don't understand you, you don't understand me and we don't understand ourselves.
Anton Chekhov
Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
Anton Chekhov
Great Jove angry is no longer Jove.
Anton Chekhov
If you wish women to love you be original I know a man who used to wear felt boots summer and winter & women fell in love with him.
Anton Chekhov
