Anton Chekhov Quotes

"If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.""It is easier to write about Socrates than about a young woman or a cook.""When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it cannot be cured.""A writer should be as objective as a chemist.""We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.""Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.""Man will become better when you show him what he is like.""The sea has neither meaning nor pity.""You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.""Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.""There is nothing more awful, insulting, and depressing than banality.""Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.""People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.""Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.""Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.""Man is what he believes.""Any idiot can face a crisis; it’s this day-to-day living that wears you out.""The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them."
