More quotes by Anton Chekhov
Nothing better forges a bond of love, friendship or respect than common hatred toward something.
Anton Chekhov
There isn't a Monday that would not cede its place to Tuesday.
Anton Chekhov
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
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
This life of ours...human life is like a flower gloriously blooming in a meadow: along comes a goat, eats it up---no more flower.
Anton Chekhov
The people I am afraid of are the ones who look for tendentiousness between the lines and are determined to see me as either liberal or conservative. I am neither liberal, nor conservative, nor gradualist, nor monk, nor indifferentist. I would like to be a free artist and nothing else, and I regret God has not given me the strength to be one.
Anton Chekhov
A litterateur is not a confectioner, not a dealer in cosmetics, not an entertainer. . . . He is just like an ordinary reporter. What would you say if a newspaper reporter, because of his fastidiousness or from a wish to give pleasure to his readers, were to describe only honest mayors, high-minded ladies, and virtuous railroad contractors.
Anton Chekhov
Exquisite nature, daydreams, and music say one thing, real life another.
Anton Chekhov
Every coming year is as bad as the previous one, the only difference being that in most cases it is even worse.
Anton Chekhov
Only one who loves can remember so well.
Anton Chekhov
It is the writer's business not to accuse and not to prosecute, but to champion the guilty, once they are condemned and suffer punishment.
Anton Chekhov
If I had listened to the critics I'd have died drunk in the gutter
Anton Chekhov
I observed that after marriage people cease to be curious.
Anton Chekhov
People are far more sincere and good-humored at speeding their parting guests than on meeting them.
Anton Chekhov
Death is terrifying, but it would be even more terrifying to find out that you are going to live forever and never die.
Anton Chekhov
In a century or two, or in a millennium, people will live in a new way, a happier way. We wont be there to see it - but its why we live, why we work. Its why we suffer. Were creating it. Thats the purpose of our existence. The only happiness we can know is to work toward that goal.
Anton Chekhov
[Six principles that make for a good story:] 1. Absence of lengthy verbiage of a political-social-economic nature 2. total objectivity 3. truthful descriptions of persons and objects 4. extreme brevity 5. audacity and originality: flee the stereotype 6. compassion.
Anton Chekhov
To a chemist, nothing on earth is unclean. A writer must be as objective as a chemist he must abandon the subjective line he must know that dungheaps play a very respectable part in a landscape, and that evil passions are as inherent in life as good ones.
Anton Chekhov
I've noticed that people who get married cease to be curious.
Anton Chekhov
A man wants nothing so badly as a gooseberry farm.
Anton Chekhov
