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
If you can't distinguish people from lap-dogs, you shouldn't undertake philanthropic work.
Anton Chekhov
Let the things that happen on the stage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life. For instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up.
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
I would like to be a free artist and nothing else, and I regret God has not given me the strength to be one.
Anton Chekhov
When a person is born, he can embark on only one of three roads of life: if you go right, the wolves will eat you if you go left, you’ll eat the wolves if you go straight, you’ll eat yourself.
Anton Chekhov
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov
