More quotes by Anton Chekhov
It is easy to be a philosopher in academia, but it is very difficult to be a philosopher in life.
Anton Chekhov
The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on science and art are as well.
Anton Chekhov
I still lack a political, religious and philosophical world view - I change it every month - and so I'll have to limit myself to descriptions of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak.
Anton Chekhov
I can't accept our nervous age, since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
Anton Chekhov
Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.
Anton Chekhov
When performing an autopsy, even the most inveterate spiritualist would have to question where the soul is.
Anton Chekhov
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.
Anton Chekhov
You look boldly ahead isn't it only that you don't see or divine anything terrible in the future because life is still hidden from your young eyes.
Anton Chekhov
It's worth living abroad to study up on genteel and delicate manners. The maid smiles continuously she smiles like a duchess on a stage, while at the same time it is clear from her face that she is exhausted from overwork.
Anton Chekhov
Writers are as jealous as pigeons.
Anton Chekhov
If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there.
Anton Chekhov
Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
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
Faith is a capacity of the spirit. It is like talent: you have to be born with it
Anton Chekhov
Calculating selfishness is the annihilation of self.
Anton Chekhov
The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
Anton Chekhov
The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.
Anton Chekhov
Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.
Anton Chekhov
At the door of every happy person there should be a man with a hammer whose knock would serve as a constant reminder of the existence of unfortunate people.
Anton Chekhov
Life is a vexatious trap when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.
Anton Chekhov
