More quotes by Anton Chekhov
In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.
Anton Chekhov
If many remedies are prescribed for an illness you can be sure it has no cure
Anton Chekhov
Man will become better when you show him what he is like.
Anton Chekhov
Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.
Anton Chekhov
I long to embrace, to include in my own short life, all that is accessible to man. I long to speak, to read, to wield a hammer in a great factory, to keep watch at sea, to plow. I want to be walking along the Nevsky Prospect, or in the open fields, or on the ocean - wherever my imagination ranges.
Anton Chekhov
When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that's science.
Anton Chekhov
A fiancé is neither this nor that: he's left one shore, but not yet reached the other.
Anton Chekhov
I let myself go at the beginning and write with an easy mind, but by the time I get to the middle I begin to grow timid and to fear my story will be too long. . .That is why the beginning of my stories is always very promising and looks as though I were starting on a novel, and the middle is huddled and timid, and the end is...like fireworks.
Anton Chekhov
The sea has neither meaning nor pity.
Anton Chekhov
You ask me what life is. That's like asking what a carrot is. A carrot is a carrot, and there's nothing more to know.
Anton Chekhov
I expect I shall be a student to the end of my days.
Anton Chekhov
If you want to work on your art, work on your life.
Anton Chekhov
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer.
Anton Chekhov
It's worth living abroad to study up on genteel and delicate manners. The maid smiles continuously she smiles like a duchess on a stage, while at the same time it is clear from her face that she is exhausted from overwork.
Anton Chekhov
It is easier to ask of the poor than of the rich.
Anton Chekhov
Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.
Anton Chekhov
Exquisite nature, daydreams, and music say one thing, real life another.
Anton Chekhov
At the door of every happy person there should be a man with a hammer whose knock would serve as a constant reminder of the existence of unfortunate people.
Anton Chekhov
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
Anton Chekhov
God's world is a good place. The one thing not good in it is we. How little justice and humility there is in us. How little we understand true patriotism!
