Anton Chekhov
Women can't forgive failure.
Anton Chekhov
Useless pursuits and conversations always about the same things absorb the better part of one's time, the better part of one's strength, and in the end there is left a life grovelling and curtailed, worthless and trivial, and there is no escaping or getting away from it—just as though one were in a madhouse or prison.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
Every person lives his real, most interesting life under the cover of secrecy.
Anton Chekhov
Better to perish from fools than to accept praises from them.
Anton Chekhov
If our life has a meaning, an aim, it has nothing to do with our personal happiness, but something wiser and greater.
Anton Chekhov
When men ask me how I know so much about men, they get a simple answer: everything I know about men, I learned from me.
Anton Chekhov
An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.
Anton Chekhov
I confess I seldom commune with my conscience when I write.
Anton Chekhov
In all my life I never met anyone so frivolous as you two, so crazy and unbusinesslike. I tell you in plain Russian your property is going to be sold and you don't seem to understand what I say.
Anton Chekhov
