Anton Chekhov
A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov

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
The illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths.
Anton Chekhov
It is depressing to hear the unfortunate or dying man jest.
Anton Chekhov
Everything should be first-rate in a person, his face, clothes, soul and thoughts.
Anton Chekhov
A man and a woman marry because both of them do not know what to do with themselves.
Anton Chekhov
The unhappy are egoistic, spiteful, unjust, cruel, and less capable of understanding each other than fools.

Anton Chekhov
Only one who loves can remember so well.
Anton Chekhov
