More quotes by Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the people's consciousness, the people's conscience, freedom andso forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmen--this is the same as lying to the holy spirit.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It's better to live somehow than not at all.
Anton Chekhov
The time's come: there's a terrific thunder-cloud advancing upon us, a mighty storm is coming to freshen us up....It's going to blow away all this idleness and indifference, and prejudice against work....I'm going to work, and in twenty-five or thirty years' time every man and woman will be working.
Anton Chekhov
I expect I shall be a student to the end of my days.

Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
A good person will feel guilty even before a dog.
Anton Chekhov
My love is like a stone tied round my neck it's dragging me down to the bottom but I love my stone. I can't live without it.
Anton Chekhov
I divide all literary works into two categories: Those I like and those I don't like. No other criterion exists for me.
Anton Chekhov
You will not become a saint through other people's sins.
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
People's destinies are so different. Some people drag along, unnoticed and boring—they're all alike, and they're all unhappy. Then there are others, like for instance you—you're one in a million. You're happy—
Anton Chekhov
It's even pleasant to be sick when you know that there are people who await your recovery as they might await a holiday.
Anton Chekhov
..when one has no real life, one lives by mirages. It's still better than nothing.
Anton Chekhov
A fiancé is neither this nor that: he's left one shore, but not yet reached the other.
Anton Chekhov
A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.
Anton Chekhov
In Moscow you sit in a huge room at a restaurant you know no one and no one knows you, and at the same time you don't feel a stranger. But here you know everyone and everyone knows you, and yet you are a stranger - a stranger... A stranger, and lonely...
Anton Chekhov
When a person hasn't in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog's bark in every sound.
Anton Chekhov
