More quotes by Anton Chekhov
One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep.
Anton Chekhov
You ask me what life is. That's like asking what a carrot is. A carrot is a carrot, and there's nothing more to know.
Anton Chekhov
There are in life conjunctions of circumstances when the reproach that we are not Voltaires is least of all appropriate.
Anton Chekhov
I've noticed that people who get married cease to be curious.
Anton Chekhov
There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table what is national is no longer science.

Anton Chekhov
People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about.
Anton Chekhov
You've only got to begin to do anything to find out how few honest, honourable people there are. Sometimes, when I can't sleep, I think: Oh Lord, you've given us huge forests, infinite fields, and endless horizons, and we, living here, ought really to be giants.
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
I don't like being successful the subjects which sit in my head are annoyed and jealous of what has already been written.
Anton Chekhov
Once a man gets a fixed idea, there's nothing to be done.
Anton Chekhov
Three o'clock in the morning. The soft April night is looking at my windows and caressingly winking at me with its stars. I can't sleep, I am so happy.
Anton Chekhov
Write about this man who, drop by drop, squeezes the slave's blood out of himself until he wakes one day to find the blood of a real human being--not a slave's--coursing through his veins.
Anton Chekhov
When asked, Why do you always wear black?, he said, I am mourning for my life.
Anton Chekhov
Great Jove angry is no longer Jove.
Anton Chekhov
In short stories it is better to say not enough than to say too much, because, because--I don't know why.
Anton Chekhov
A man wants nothing so badly as a gooseberry farm.
Anton Chekhov
Everything on earth is beautiful, everything -- except what we ourselves think and do when we forget the higher purposes of life and our own human dignity.
Anton Chekhov
You will not become a saint through other people's sins.
