More quotes by Anton Chekhov
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
Anton Chekhov
You ask me what life is. That's like asking what a carrot is. A carrot is a carrot, and there's nothing more to know.
Anton Chekhov
From here, far away, people seem very good, and that is natural, for in going away into the country we are not hiding from people but from our vanity, which in town among people is unjust and active beyond measure.
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
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer.
Anton Chekhov
There is nothing new in art except talent.
Anton Chekhov
If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It's better to live somehow than not at all.
Anton Chekhov
These people have learned not from books, but in the fields, in the wood, on the river bank. Their teachers have been the birds themselves, when they sang to them, the sun when it left a glow of crimson behind it at setting, the very trees, and wild herbs.
Anton Chekhov
If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there.
Anton Chekhov
In a century or two, or in a millennium, people will live in a new way, a happier way. We wont be there to see it - but its why we live, why we work. Its why we suffer. Were creating it. Thats the purpose of our existence. The only happiness we can know is to work toward that goal.
Anton Chekhov
When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that's science.
Anton Chekhov
My love is like a stone tied round my neck it's dragging me down to the bottom but I love my stone. I can't live without it.
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
My holy of holies is the human body.
Anton Chekhov
When one sees one of the romantic creatures before him he imagines he is looking at some holy being, so wonderful that its one breath could dissolve him in a sea of a thousand charms and delights but if one looks into the soul -- it's nothing but a common crocodile.
Anton Chekhov
It's easier to ask for money from the poor than from the wealthy.
Anton Chekhov
The more cultured a man, the less fortunate he is.
Anton Chekhov
The problem is that we attempt to solve the simplest questions cleverly, thereby rendering them unusually complex. One should seekthe simple solution.
Anton Chekhov
In short stories it is better to say not enough than to say too much, because, because--I don't know why.
Anton Chekhov
To describe drunkenness for the colorful vocabulary is rather cynical. There is nothing easier than to capitalize on drunkards.
