Anton Chekhov
Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.
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
One had better not rush, otherwise dung comes out rather than creative work.
Anton Chekhov
To describe drunkenness for the colorful vocabulary is rather cynical. There is nothing easier than to capitalize on drunkards.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
The bourgeoisie is very fond of so-called practical types and novels with happy endings, since they soothe it with the idea that one can both accumulate capital and preserve innocence, be a beast and at the same time be happy...
Anton Chekhov
Writers are as jealous as pigeons.
