More quotes by Anton Chekhov
Nothing lulls and inebriates like money when you have a lot, the world seems a better place than it actually is.
Anton Chekhov
Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling.
Anton Chekhov
In nature a repulsive caterpillar turns into a lovely butterfly. But with human beings it is the other way round: a lovely butterfly turns into a repulsive caterpillar.
Anton Chekhov
Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
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
I'm in mourning for my life.
Anton Chekhov
[In] death at least there would be one profit it would no longer be necessary to eat, to drink, to pay taxes, or to [offend] others and as a man lies in his grave not one year, but hundreds and thousands of years, the profit was enormous. The life of man was, in short, a loss, and only his death a profit.
Anton Chekhov
Even while lying, you'll be believed if you speak with authority.
Anton Chekhov
An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.
Anton Chekhov
It's even pleasant to be sick when you know that there are people who await your recovery as they might await a holiday.
Anton Chekhov
There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table what is national is no longer science.
Anton Chekhov
The government is not God. It does not have the right to take away that which it can't return even if it wants to.
Anton Chekhov
Death is terrifying, but it would be even more terrifying to find out that you are going to live forever and never die.
Anton Chekhov
Death can only be profitable: there's no need to eat, drink, pay taxes, offend people, and since a person lies in a grave for hundreds or thousands of years, if you count it up the profit turns out to be enormous.
Anton Chekhov
You will not become a saint through other people's sins.
Anton Chekhov
The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence. Without this silence, happiness would be impossible.
Anton Chekhov
In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.
Anton Chekhov
The time's come: there's a terrific thunder-cloud advancing upon us, a mighty storm is coming to freshen us up....It's going to blow away all this idleness and indifference, and prejudice against work....I'm going to work, and in twenty-five or thirty years' time every man and woman will be working.
Anton Chekhov
If you want to work on your art, work on your life.
Anton Chekhov
Moscow is a city that has much suffering ahead of it.
