“I've never been in love, never in my life.
Oh, I've dreamed of love, dreamed endlessly, day and night,
but my soul is like a fine piano that's locked,
and the key is lost.”
― Chekhov's Three Sisters & Woolf's Orlando

“I think a person has to believe in something,
or search out some kind of faith;
otherwise life is empty, nothing.
How can you live not knowing why the cranes fly,
why children are born, why there are stars in the sky...
Either you know why you live,
or it's all small, unnecessary bits.”
― Chekhov's Three Sisters & Woolf's Orlando

“Oh, where is it, where did my past go, when I was young, happy and intelligent, when my dreams and thoughts had some grace, and the present and future were lit up with hope? Why is it, that when we've just started to live, we grow dull, gray, uninteresting, lazy, useless, with flattened-out souls?”

“إننا لا نكاد نبدأ حياتنا حتى تغدو إلى إملال و رثاثة ، إلى تفاهة و كسل ، إلى جمود و غثاثة و تعاسة .. تحيا مدينتنا منذ قرنين من الزمان ، و يربو عدد سكانها على مئة ألف نسمة ، ولكنها ، لم تعرف قط كائناً لا يشبه الآخرين ، لم تعرف بطلاً لا في الماضي و لا في الحاضر ، لم تعرف عالماً ولا فناناً و لا رجلاً قليل التميز أو كثيره ، إنساناً قادراً على أن يضرم الرغبة أو الشهوة الحادة لتقليده .. هم لا يعرفون إلا أن يأكلوا و يشربوا و يناموا ، ثم إنهم يموتون .. و يُولد آخرون ، يروحون ، هم أيضاً ، يأكلون و يشربون وينامون !.”

“الناس يضطربون .. ووجه صغيرتيّ يعكس الخوف ، الرعب ، التوسل ، لست أدري ماذا . لما رأيتهما على هذه الحال أحسست قلبي ينقبض . قلت في نفسي رباه ، يا للصغيرتين المسكينتين ، أي من التجارب لن تتعرضا إليه خلال وجودهما المديد المقبل ؟ و سرعان ما حملتهما و أخذت أعدو تلاحقني الفكرة ذاتها : كم من الآلام تنتظرهما في هذا العالم !.”

“ قرأت هذه الأيام الأخيرة المذكرات الصميمية التي كتبها في السجن وزير فرنسي محكوم عليه في قضية باناما . في أية نشوة و أي إعجاب هو يتحدث عن الطيور التي يشاهدها من نافذة سجنه ، طيور لم يُلاحظها قط أيام كان وزيراً . الآن وقد عادت إليه حريته كفّ عن أن يُلاحظها . وهكذا .. السعادة ليست موجودة من أجلنا ، نحن لا نصنع إلا أن نشتهيها !. ”

“What silly little things sometimes take on meaning in life, suddenly, out of nowhere. And you know they're little nothings, and you laugh at them, but all the same, you go on feeling them, you can't stop...”

“He knew he was at time brooding, and that he could be brusque, and that—as evidenced here yesterday—he had trouble concealing suspicions of sketchy people, circumstances, or stories. He grew up with three sisters, so he had no choice but to be fairly self-aware.”
