Anton Chekhov
People's destinies are so different. Some people drag along, unnoticed and boring—they're all alike, and they're all unhappy. Then there are others, like for instance you—you're one in a million. You're happy—
Anton Chekhov
The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.
Anton Chekhov
