Anton Chekhov

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Knowledge • Practice

The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.

Art • Creativity • Expression

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Beauty • Heaven • Nature

If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry.

Loneliness • Marriage • Relationships

The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.

Existence • Knowledge • Perception

Man will become better when you show him what he is like.

Awareness • Empathy • Growth

It's very hard, feeling that you're no more than a piece of unwanted furniture in this world.

Sadness

There is nothing more awful, insulting, and depressing than banality.

Criticism

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.

Discovery • Love

We should show life neither as it is, nor as it should be, but as we see it in our dreams.

Dreams • Life • Perception

To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead.

Fear • Life • Love

You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.

Beliefs • Life • People

Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.

Adversity • Resilience • Strength

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.

Happiness • Perception • Seasons
