I swear fearfully at the conventions of the stage.
Anton Chekhov
There isn't a Monday that would not cede its place to Tuesday.
Anton Chekhov
You are right in demanding that an artist should take an intelligent attitude to his work, but you confuse two things: solving a problem and stating a problem correctly.
Anton Chekhov
A woman can become a man's friend only in the following stages - first an acquantaince, next a mistress, and only then a friend.
Anton Chekhov
People are far more sincere and good-humored at speeding their parting guests than on meeting them.
Anton Chekhov
It's immoral to steal, but you can take things.
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
