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
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.
Anton Chekhov
An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.
Anton Chekhov
What's the use of talking? You can see for yourself that this is a barbarous country the people have no morals and the boredom!
