Anton Chekhov
If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.
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

Anton Chekhov
All saints have past and all sinners have a future.
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
The University brings out all abilities, including incapability.
Anton Chekhov
