When performing an autopsy, even the most inveterate spiritualist would have to question where the soul is.
Anton ChekhovPerhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
Anton ChekhovAll I wanted was to say honestly to people: 'Have a look at yourselves and see how bad and dreary your lives are!' The important thing is that people should realize that, for when they do, they will most certainly create another and better life for themselves. I will not live to see it, but I know that it will be quite different, quite unlike our present life. And so long as this different life does not exist, I shall go on saying to people again and again: 'Please, understand that your life is bad and dreary!'
