"It was hard and sour, but, as Poushkin said, the illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths. I saw a happy man, one whose dearest dream had come true, who had attained his goal in life, who had got what he wanted, and was pleased with his destiny and with himself."


Anton Chekhov

"Maybe it was obsession, but it was also happiness; an escape from the suckiness of everyday life.
