Anton Chekhov
Life is a vexatious trap when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.
Anton Chekhov
A fiancé is neither this nor that: he's left one shore, but not yet reached the other.
Anton Chekhov
