Anton Chekhov

“The illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths.”

“No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.”

“Reason and justice tell me there's more love for humanity in electricity and steam than in chastity and vegetarianism.”

“Wisdom.... comes not from age, but from education and learning.”

“There is nothing good in this world that does not have some filth in its origin.”

“Man is what he believes.”
