Anton Chekhov
Death can only be profitable: there's no need to eat, drink, pay taxes, offend people, and since a person lies in a grave for hundreds or thousands of years, if you count it up the profit turns out to be enormous.
Anton Chekhov
I expect I shall be a student to the end of my days.

It always seems to the brothers and the father that their brother or son didn't marry the right person.
Anton Chekhov
Indeed, in Russia there is a terrible poverty of facts, and a terrible abundance of reflections of all sorts.
