Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
A book ought to be the ax to break the frozen sea within us.
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer. He is a man who has signed a contract with his conscious and his sense of duty.
Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.
Man is what he believes.
One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.
