When one sees one of the romantic creatures before him he imagines he is looking at some holy being, so wonderful that its one breath could dissolve him in a sea of a thousand charms and delights but if one looks into the soul -- it's nothing but a common crocodile.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
If many remedies are prescribed for an illness you can be sure it has no cure
Anton Chekhov
What must human beings be, to destroy what they can never create?
Anton Chekhov
