Anton Chekhov
The snow has not yet left the earth but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
Anton Chekhov
Indeed, in Russia there is a terrible poverty of facts, and a terrible abundance of reflections of all sorts.
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
