More quotes by Anton Chekhov
Nothing better forges a bond of love, friendship or respect than common hatred toward something.
Anton Chekhov
How unbearable at times are people who are happy, people for whom everything works out.
Anton Chekhov
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions.
Anton Chekhov
In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.
Anton Chekhov
Once you've married, be strict but just with your wife, don't allow her to forget herself, and when a misunderstanding arises, say: Don't forget that I made you happy.
Anton Chekhov
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.
Anton Chekhov
The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.
Anton Chekhov
Life is given only once, and one wants to live it boldly, with full conscious and beauty.
Anton Chekhov
And what does it mean -- dying? Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and only the five we know are lost at death, while the other ninety-five remain alive.
Anton Chekhov
I've noticed that people who get married cease to be curious.
Anton Chekhov
The government is not God. It does not have the right to take away that which it can't return even if it wants to.
Anton Chekhov
I've never been in love. I've dreamt of it day and night, but my heart is like a fine piano no one can play because the key is lost.
Anton Chekhov
Man will become better when you show him what he is like.
Anton Chekhov
Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
Anton Chekhov
You are right in demanding that an artist should take an intelligent attitude to his work, but you confuse two things: solving a problem and stating a problem correctly.
Anton Chekhov
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Anton Chekhov
In two or three hundred years life on earth will be unimaginably beautiful, astounding. Man needs such a life and if it hasn't yetappeared, he should begin to anticipate it, wait for it, dream about it, prepare for it. To achieve this, he has to see and know more than did his grandfather and father.
Anton Chekhov
I can't accept our nervous age, since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
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
Satiation, like any state of vitality, always contains a degree of impudence, and that impudence emerges first and foremost when the sated man instructs the hungry one.
Anton Chekhov
