Anton Chekhov on men

Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.

When an actor has money, he doesn’t send letters but telegrams.

When a person expends the least amount of motion on one action, that is grace.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
