Children are holy and pure. Even those of bandits and crocodiles belong among the angels.... They must not be turned into a plaything of one's mood, first to be tenderly kissed, then rabidly stomped at.

I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Then I feel so happy and at the same time so sad, it's unimaginable.
Anton Chekhov
Image
There is something beautiful, touching and poetic when one person loves more than the other, and the other is indifferent.

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.
