More quotes by Anton Chekhov
Fine. Since the tea is not forthcoming, let's have a philosophical conversation.
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
There are in life conjunctions of circumstances when the reproach that we are not Voltaires is least of all appropriate.
Anton Chekhov
If you cry 'forward', you must without fail make plain in what direction to go.
Anton Chekhov
When a person hasn't in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog's bark in every sound.
Anton Chekhov
The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything.
Anton Chekhov
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions.
Anton Chekhov
When a man fails to understand something he is conscious of a discord, and seeks for the cause of it not in himself, as he should, but outside himself - hence the war with what he does not understand.
Anton Chekhov
What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won't seem important at all.
Anton Chekhov
There are plenty of good people, but only a very, very few are precise and disciplined.
Anton Chekhov
These people have learned not from books, but in the fields, in the wood, on the river bank. Their teachers have been the birds themselves, when they sang to them, the sun when it left a glow of crimson behind it at setting, the very trees, and wild herbs.
Anton Chekhov
And only now, when he was gray-haired, had he fallen in love properly, thoroughly, for the first time in his life.
Anton Chekhov
The snow has not yet left the earth but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
Anton Chekhov
The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.
Anton Chekhov
Even while lying, you'll be believed if you speak with authority.
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
A sweet lie is more gracious for us than a virulent but real truth.
Anton Chekhov
After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, Oh! Life is so hard! and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.
Anton Chekhov
The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on science and art are as well.
Anton Chekhov
A woman is fascinated not by art but by the noise made by those in the field.
Anton Chekhov
