More quotes by Anton Chekhov
When a man fails to understand something he is conscious of a discord, and seeks for the cause of it not in himself, as he should, but outside himself - hence the war with what he does not understand.
Anton Chekhov
If many remedies are prescribed for an illness you can be sure it has no cure
Anton Chekhov
Nothing better forges a bond of love, friendship or respect than common hatred toward something.
Anton Chekhov
That can not possibly be, because it could never possibly be.
Anton Chekhov
I myself smoke, but my wife asked me to speak today on the harmfulness of tobacco, so what can I do? If it's tobacco, then let it be tobacco.
Anton Chekhov
It always seems to the brothers and the father that their brother or son didn't marry the right person.
Anton Chekhov
Better to perish from fools than to accept praises from them.
Anton Chekhov
The unhappy are egoistic, spiteful, unjust, cruel, and less capable of understanding each other than fools. Unhappiness does not bring people together but draws them apart, and even where one would fancy people should be united by the similarity of their sorrow, far more injustice and cruelty is generated than in comparatively placid surroundings.
Anton Chekhov
I should think I'm going to be a perpetual student.
Anton Chekhov
People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about.
Anton Chekhov
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.
Anton Chekhov
The government is not God. It does not have the right to take away that which it can't return even if it wants to.
Anton Chekhov
The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
Anton Chekhov
If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.
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
Satiation, like any state of vitality, always contains a degree of impudence, and that impudence emerges first and foremost when the sated man instructs the hungry one.
Anton Chekhov
When a person is born, he can embark on only one of three roads of life: if you go right, the wolves will eat you if you go left, you’ll eat the wolves if you go straight, you’ll eat yourself.
Anton Chekhov
Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling.
Anton Chekhov
Only entropy comes easy.
Anton Chekhov
Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.
