The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
Anton Chekhov
Nothing can be accomplished by logic and ethics.
Anton Chekhov
Women can't forgive failure.
Anton Chekhov
Moscow is a city that has much suffering ahead of it.
Anton Chekhov
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.
Anton Chekhov
How unbearable at times are people who are happy, people for whom everything works out.
Anton Chekhov
No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.
Anton Chekhov
It's worth living abroad to study up on genteel and delicate manners. The maid smiles continuously she smiles like a duchess on a stage, while at the same time it is clear from her face that she is exhausted from overwork.
Anton Chekhov
I have no will of my own. Never did. Limp and lily-livered, I always obey - is it possible that's attractive to women?
Anton Chekhov
It is a bad thing if a writer tackles a subject he does not understand.
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
Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.
Anton Chekhov
Tsars and slaves, the intelligent and the obtuse, publicans and pharisees all have an identical legal and moral right to honor the memory of the deceased as they see fit, without regard for anyone else's opinion and without the fear of hindering one another.
Anton Chekhov
Each of us is full of too many wheels, screws and valves to permit us to judge one another on a first impression or by two or three external signs.
Anton Chekhov
Eyes - the head's chief of police. They watch and make mental notes.
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
If you wish women to love you be original I know a man who used to wear felt boots summer and winter & women fell in love with him.
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
In order to cultivate yourself and to drop no lower than the level of the milieu in which you have landed, it is not enough to read Pickwick and memorize a monologue from Faust... You need to work continually day and night, to read ceaselessly, to study, to exercise your will... Each hour is precious.
Anton Chekhov
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions.
Anton Chekhov
