Anton Chekhov
There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table what is national is no longer science.

Anton Chekhov
I let myself go at the beginning and write with an easy mind, but by the time I get to the middle I begin to grow timid and to fear my story will be too long. . .That is why the beginning of my stories is always very promising and looks as though I were starting on a novel, and the middle is huddled and timid, and the end is...like fireworks.
Anton Chekhov
If you can't distinguish people from lap-dogs, you shouldn't undertake philanthropic work.
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
Nothing lulls and inebriates like money when you have a lot, the world seems a better place than it actually is.
Anton Chekhov
Tsars and slaves, the intelligent and the obtuse, publicans and pharisees all have an identical legal and moral right to honor the memory of the deceased as they see fit, without regard for anyone else's opinion and without the fear of hindering one another.
Anton Chekhov
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
Anton Chekhov
If you cry ''Forward'' you must be sure to make clear the direction in which to go. Don't you see that if you fail to do that and simply call out the word to a monk and a revolutionary, they will go in precisely opposite directions?
Anton Chekhov
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer.
Anton Chekhov
Let the things that happen on the stage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life. For instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up.
Anton Chekhov
