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
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.
Anton Chekhov
If you cry 'forward', you must without fail make plain in what direction to go.
