Anton Chekhov Quotes

How Does Chekhov's Artistic "programme" Comment On The Message Of The Duel, And Vice Versa? I Should Like To Be A Free Artist And Nothing More, And I Regret That God Has Not Given Me The Power To Be One. I Hate Lying And Violence In All Their Forms ... Pharisaism, Stupidity And Despotism Reign Not In Merchants' Houses And Prisons Alone. I See Them In Science, In Literature, In The Younger Generation ... That Is Why I Have No Preference Either For Gendarmes, Or For Butchers, Or For Scientists, Or For Writers, Or For The Younger Generation. I Regard Trade-marks And Labels As A Superstition. My Holy Of Holies Is The Human Body, Health, Intelligence, Talent, Inspiration, Love, And The Most Absolute Freedom - Freedom From Violence And Lying, Whatever Forms They May Take. This Is The Programme I Would Follow If I Were A Great Artist.*
