There are plenty of good people, but only a very, very few are precise and disciplined.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

What truth? You see where tru...

What truth? You see where truth is, and where untruth is, but I seem to have lost my sight and see nothing. You boldly settle all important questions, but tell me, dear, isn't it because you're young, because you haven't had time to suffer till you settled a single one of your questions? You boldly look forward, isn't it because you cannot foresee or expect anything terrible, because so far life has been hidden from your young eyes? You are bolder, more honest, deeper than we are, but think only, be just a little magnanimous, and have mercy on me.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

An expansive life, one not co...

An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

You only have to start a job ...

You only have to start a job of work to realize how few decent, honest folk there are about.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

My holy of holies is the huma...

My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and absolute freedom--freedom from violence and falsehood, no matter how the last two manifest themselves.

Desription should be very brief and have an incidental nature.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

Perhaps man has a hundred sen...

Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive... Everything that is unattainable for us now will one day be near and clear... But we must work.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

I think that it would be less...

I think that it would be less difficult to live eternally than to be deprived of sleep throughout life.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

Do you see that tree? It is dead but it still sways in the wind with the others. I think it would be like that with me. That if I died I would still be part of life in one way or another.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

What seems to us serious, sig...

What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won't seem important at all.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

After us they'll fly in hot a...

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 482 quotes

Life is a vexatious trap; whe...

Life is a vexatious trap; when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

In a century or two, or in a ...

In a century or two, or in a millennium, people will live in a new way, a happier way. We won"t be there to see it - but it"s why we live, why we work. It"s why we suffer. We"re creating it. That"s the purpose of our existence. The only happiness we can know is to work toward that goal.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

When a man fails to understan...

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.

The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

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 482 quotes

Calculating selfishness is the annihilation of self.

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

Cross out as many adjectives ...

Cross out as many adjectives and adverbs as you can. ... It is comprehensible when I write: "The man sat on the grass," because it is clear and does not detain one's attention. On the other hand, it is difficult to figure out and hard on the brain if I write: "The tall, narrow-chested man of medium height and with a red beard sat down on the green grass that had already been trampled down by the pedestrians, sat down silently, looking around timidly and fearfully." The brain can't grasp all that at once, and art must be grasped at once, instantaneously.

The bourgeoisie is very fond of so-called practical types and novels with happy endings, since they soothe it with the idea that one can both accumulate capital and preserve innocence, be a beast and at the same time be happy...

Anton Chekhov 482 quotes

Three o'clock in the morning....

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.
