More quotes by Anton Chekhov

Image
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
Image
I still lack a political, religious and philosophical world view - I change it every month - and so I'll have to limit myself to descriptions of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak.
Anton Chekhov
Image
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov

Faith is a capacity of the spirit. It is like talent: you have to be born with it

Anton Chekhov
Image
Each of us is full of too many wheels, screws and valves to permit us to judge one another on a first impression or by two or three external signs.
Anton Chekhov
Image
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

Man is what he believes.

It's easier to ask for money from the poor than from the wealthy.
Anton Chekhov
Image
That can not possibly be, because it could never possibly be.
Anton Chekhov
Image
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

What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won't seem important at all.
Anton Chekhov
Image
The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Children are holy and pure. Even those of bandits and crocodiles belong among the angels.... They must not be turned into a plaything of one's mood, first to be tenderly kissed, then rabidly stomped at.
Anton Chekhov

The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
