| Anton Chekhov
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer. Any idiot can face a crisis, it is this day-to-day living that wears you out. Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too. He who desires nothing, hopes for nothing, and is afraid of nothing, cannot
be an artist.
-If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry.If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry.If you cry Forward you must be sure to make clear the direction in which to go. Don't you see that if you fail to do that and simply call out the word to a monk and a revolutionary, they will go in precisely opposite directions? Logic and a sense of justice tell me that there is more love in
electricity and steam than there is in chastity and abstention from
eating meat.
Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred of something. Man is what he believes. Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand ... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing. One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake. Only he is an emancipated thinker who is not afraid to write foolish things. 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. Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.The more refined one is, the more unhappy. The only difference between doctors and lawyers is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you, too.There is no national science just as there is no national
multiplication table; what is national is no longer science.To judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God. We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the
sky sparkling with diamonds.
-When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured. When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair.' When an actor has money, he doesn't send letters, but telegrams.You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. You will not become a saint through other people's sins.
