Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
If I had listened to the critics I'd have died drunk in the gutter
Anton Chekhov

Oh, I have now a mania for shortness. Whatever I read - my own or other people's works - it all seems to me not short enough.
Anton Chekhov
Calculating selfishness is the annihilation of self.
Anton Chekhov
That can not possibly be, because it could never possibly be.
Anton Chekhov
No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.
Anton Chekhov
What a fine weather today! Can’t choose whether to drink tea or to hang myself.
Anton Chekhov
The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
Anton Chekhov
The wealthy man is not he who has money, but he who has the means to live in the luxurious state of early spring.
Anton Chekhov
There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table what is national is no longer science.
Anton Chekhov
To Moscow, to Moscow, to Moscow!
Anton Chekhov
