Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as... - Anton Chekhov

"Even in Siberia there is happiness."

"In displaying the psychology of your characters, minute particulars are essential. God save us from vague generalizations!"(Letter to Alexander Chekhov, May 10, 1886)"

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out."

"Once a man gets a fixed idea, there's nothing to be done."

"All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still."
