Anton Chekhov Quotes
In The Big House Opposite Someone Was Playing The Piano At Dolzhikov's. It Was Beginning To Get Dark, And Stars Were Twinkling In The Sky. Here My Father, In An Old Top-hat With Wide Upturned Brim, Walked Slowly By With My Sister On His Arm, Bowing In Response To Greetings.
"Look Up," He Said To My Sister, Pointing To The Sky With The Same Umbrella With Which He Had Beaten Me That Afternoon. "Look Up At The Sky! Even The Tiniest Stars Are All Worlds! How Insignificant Is Man In Comparison With The Universe!"
And He Said This In A Tone That Suggested That It Was Particularly Agreeable And Flattering To Him That He Was So Insignificant. How Absolutely Devoid Of Talent And Imagination He Was!
