“I can’t accept “our nervous age,” since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.”
—Aesop (6th century B.C.)
