More quotes by Anton Chekhov
There is something beautiful, touching and poetic when one person loves more than the other, and the other is indifferent.
Anton Chekhov
Write about this man who, drop by drop, squeezes the slave's blood out of himself until he wakes one day to find the blood of a real human being--not a slave's--coursing through his veins.
Anton Chekhov
After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, Oh! Life is so hard! and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.
Anton Chekhov
Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
Anton Chekhov
People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about.
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

Anton Chekhov
I observed that after marriage people cease to be curious.
Anton Chekhov
There isn't a Monday that would not cede its place to Tuesday.
Anton Chekhov
Three o'clock in the morning. The soft April night is looking at my windows and caressingly winking at me with its stars. I can't sleep, I am so happy.
Anton Chekhov
The sea has neither meaning nor pity.
Anton Chekhov
It's immoral to steal, but you can take things.
Anton Chekhov
People understand God as the expression of the most lofty morality. Maybe He needs only perfect people.
Anton Chekhov
The critics suppose that it is easy to write a play. They aren't aware that writing a good play is difficult and writing a bad one is twice as hard.
Anton Chekhov
Even while lying, you'll be believed if you speak with authority.
Anton Chekhov
To describe drunkenness for the colorful vocabulary is rather cynical. There is nothing easier than to capitalize on drunkards.
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!
Anton Chekhov
You look at any poetic creature: muslin, ether, demigoddess, millions of delights then you look into the soul and find the most ordinary crocodile!
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
Everyone judges plays as if they were very easy to write. They don't know that it is hard to write a good play, and twice as hardand tortuous to write a bad one.
