When a person hasn't in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog's bark in every sound.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
Anton Chekhov
Image
All saints have past and all sinners have a future.
