A good person will feel guilty even before a dog.
Anton Chekhov
Image
From here, far away, people seem very good, and that is natural, for in going away into the country we are not hiding from people but from our vanity, which in town among people is unjust and active beyond measure.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling. There are in store for you many unsuccessful days and whole unsuccessful seasons: there will be great misunderstandings and deep disappointments… you must be prepared for all this, expect it and nevertheless, stubbornly, fanatically follow your own way.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Tsars and slaves, the intelligent and the obtuse, publicans and pharisees all have an identical legal and moral right to honor the memory of the deceased as they see fit, without regard for anyone else's opinion and without the fear of hindering one another.
Anton Chekhov

When men ask me how I know so much about men, they get a simple answer: everything I know about men, I learned from me.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.
Anton Chekhov
Image
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
Image
I myself smoke, but my wife asked me to speak today on the harmfulness of tobacco, so what can I do? If it's tobacco, then let it be tobacco.
Anton Chekhov
Image
In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Oh, dreams! In one night, lying with one's eyes shut, one may sometimes live through more than ten years of happiness.
Anton Chekhov
Image
The snow has not yet left the earth but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions.
Anton Chekhov
Image
The government is not God. It does not have the right to take away that which it can't return even if it wants to.
Anton Chekhov
Image
And only now, when he was gray-haired, had he fallen in love properly, thoroughly, for the first time in his life.
Anton Chekhov
Image
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
