Anton Chekhov
Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling.

Anton Chekhov
[Ognev] recalled endless, heated, purely Russian arguments, when the wranglers, spraying spittle and banging their fists on the table, fail to understand yet interrupt one another, themselves not even noticing it, contradict themselves with every phrase, change the subject, then, having argued for two or three hours, begin to laugh.
Anton Chekhov
Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.
Anton Chekhov
There are no small number of people in this world who, solitary by nature, always try to go back into their shell like a hermit crab or a snail.
Anton Chekhov
There isn't a Monday that would not cede its place to Tuesday.
Anton Chekhov
To Moscow, to Moscow, to Moscow!
Anton Chekhov
I kept thinking how marvellous it would be if I could somehow tear my heart, which felt so heavy, out of my chest.
Anton Chekhov
In descriptions of nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture.
Anton Chekhov
A woman is fascinated not by art but by the noise made by those in the field.
Anton Chekhov
It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.
Anton Chekhov
A person loves to talk about his illnesses although that is the least interesting part of his life.
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
