Anton Chekhov
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
Anton Chekhov
When asked, Why do you always wear black?, he said, I am mourning for my life.
Anton Chekhov
Do you know when you may concede your insignificance? Before God or, perhaps, before the intellect, beauty, or nature, but not before people. Among people, one must be conscious of one's dignity.
Anton Chekhov
What's the use of talking? You can see for yourself that this is a barbarous country the people have no morals and the boredom!
Anton Chekhov
The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on science and art are as well.
Anton Chekhov
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions.
Anton Chekhov
There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table what is national is no longer science.
Anton Chekhov
Then I feel so happy and at the same time so sad, it's unimaginable.
Anton Chekhov
A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.
Anton Chekhov
In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.
Anton Chekhov
Not everyone knows how to be silent or to leave in good time. It happens that even people of good breeding fail to notice that their presence provokes in the weary or preoccupied host a feeling akin to hatred, and that this feeling is tensely concealed and covered up with lies.
Anton Chekhov
Let the things that happen on the stage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life. For instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up.
Anton Chekhov
In two or three hundred years life on earth will be unimaginably beautiful, astounding. Man needs such a life and if it hasn't yetappeared, he should begin to anticipate it, wait for it, dream about it, prepare for it. To achieve this, he has to see and know more than did his grandfather and father.
Anton Chekhov
An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.
Anton Chekhov
To believe in God is not hard. Inquisitors, Byron and Arakcheev believed in Him. No, believe in man!
Anton Chekhov
It is easier to ask of the poor than of the rich.
Anton Chekhov
Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling. There are in store for you many unsuccessful days and whole unsuccessful seasons: there will be great misunderstandings and deep disappointments… you must be prepared for all this, expect it and nevertheless, stubbornly, fanatically follow your own way.
Anton Chekhov
What must human beings be, to destroy what they can never create?
Anton Chekhov
Women can't forgive failure.
Anton Chekhov
