More quotes by Anton Chekhov
People understand God as the expression of the most lofty morality. Maybe He needs only perfect people.
Anton Chekhov
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
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
If you wish women to love you be original I know a man who used to wear felt boots summer and winter & women fell in love with him.
Anton Chekhov
The desire to serve the common good must without fail be a requisite of the soul, a necessity for personal happiness if it issuesnot from there, but from theoretical or other considerations, it is not at all the same thing.
Anton Chekhov
I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.
Anton Chekhov
A woman is fascinated not by art but by the noise made by those in the field.
Anton Chekhov
You confuse two things: solving a problem and stating a problem correctly. It is only the second that is obligatory for an artist.
Anton Chekhov
If our life has a meaning, an aim, it has nothing to do with our personal happiness, but something wiser and greater.
Anton Chekhov
[Ognev] recalled endless, heated, purely Russian arguments, when the wranglers, spraying spittle and banging their fists on the table, fail to understand yet interrupt one another, themselves not even noticing it, contradict themselves with every phrase, change the subject, then, having argued for two or three hours, begin to laugh.
Anton Chekhov
Exquisite nature, daydreams, and music say one thing, real life another.
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
Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.
Anton Chekhov
Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.
Anton Chekhov
I don't like being successful the subjects which sit in my head are annoyed and jealous of what has already been written.
Anton Chekhov
Life is given only once, and one wants to live it boldly, with full conscious and beauty.
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
Women can't forgive failure.
Anton Chekhov
Once a man gets a fixed idea, there's nothing to be done.
Anton Chekhov
Flies purify the air, and plays - the morals.
Anton Chekhov
