Anton Chekhov

The world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.

The more a man is educated, the more he suffers.

To do nothing is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most repulsive.

Doctors are just like lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers only rob you, doctors rob you and then kill you.

People are stupid, cowardly, and greedy—and yet I love them.

If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.

The world is full of fools, and those who aren’t fools are cowards.

A writer must be as cold as ice when he writes.
