More quotes by Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
The sea has neither meaning nor pity.
Anton Chekhov
Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.
Anton Chekhov
[In] death at least there would be one profit it would no longer be necessary to eat, to drink, to pay taxes, or to [offend] others and as a man lies in his grave not one year, but hundreds and thousands of years, the profit was enormous. The life of man was, in short, a loss, and only his death a profit.

Anton Chekhov
When all is said and done, no literature can outdo the cynicism of real life you won't intoxicate with one glass someone who has already drunk up a whole barrel.
Anton Chekhov
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
I should think I'm going to be a perpetual student.
Anton Chekhov
Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
Anton Chekhov
People are far more sincere and good-humored at speeding their parting guests than on meeting them.
Anton Chekhov
When performing an autopsy, even the most inveterate spiritualist would have to question where the soul is.
Anton Chekhov
Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.
