Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer, known for his contributions to modern literature and the development of the short story as a genre.

"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

"Men are made for happiness and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself: 'I am doing God's will on earth.'."
