Famous quotes containing the word chekhov:

    The more simply we look at ticklish questions, the more placid will be our lives and relationships.

    Do you remember you shot a seagull? A man came by chance, saw it and destroyed it, just to pass the time.
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
