More quotes by Anton Chekhov
The University brings out all abilities, including incapability.
Anton Chekhov
It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.
Anton Chekhov
To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the people's consciousness, the people's conscience, freedom andso forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmen--this is the same as lying to the holy spirit.
Anton Chekhov
If you want to work on your art, work on your life.
Anton Chekhov
Then I feel so happy and at the same time so sad, it's unimaginable.
Anton Chekhov
I long to embrace, to include in my own short life, all that is accessible to man. I long to speak, to read, to wield a hammer in a great factory, to keep watch at sea, to plow. I want to be walking along the Nevsky Prospect, or in the open fields, or on the ocean - wherever my imagination ranges.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
Three o'clock in the morning. The soft April night is looking at my windows and caressingly winking at me with its stars. I can't sleep, I am so happy.
Anton Chekhov
For the salvation of his soul the Muslim digs a well. It would be a fine thing if each of us were to leave behind a school, or a well, or something of the sort, so that life would not pass by and retreat into eternity without a trace.
Anton Chekhov
A man can deceive his fiancee or his mistress as much as he likes and, in the eyes of a woman he loves, an ass may pass for a philosopher. But a daughter is a different matter.
Anton Chekhov
Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.
Anton Chekhov
Women can't forgive failure.
Anton Chekhov
The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.
Anton Chekhov
Eyes - the head's chief of police. They watch and make mental notes.
Anton Chekhov
Brevity - the sister of talent.
Anton Chekhov
Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.
Anton Chekhov
It is the writer's business not to accuse and not to prosecute, but to champion the guilty, once they are condemned and suffer punishment.
Anton Chekhov
The critics suppose that it is easy to write a play. They aren't aware that writing a good play is difficult and writing a bad one is twice as hard.
