~ 1860 - 1904
Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer known for his works like "The Seagull," "Uncle Vanya," and "The Cherry Orchard." He is celebrated for his realistic depiction of human nature and his ability to capture the complexities of the Russian society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chekhov's works have had a profound influence on modern theater and literature.
It is compassion that moves us beyond numbness toward healing.
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.
Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.
Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.
Love, friendship, and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
Don't just say that you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better.
