Anton Chekhov

When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that's faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that's science.

Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.

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

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
