People understand God as the expression of the most lofty morality. Maybe He needs only perfect people. - Anton Chekhov

What a fine day! Can’t choose whether to drink tea or to hang myself.

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

When the green garden, still wet with dew, is all sparkling in the sun and looks radiant with happiness, when there is a scent of mignonette and oleander near the house, when the young people have just come back from church and are having breakfast in the garden, all so charmingly dressed and gay, and one knows that all these healthy, well-fed, handsome people are going to do nothing the whole long day, one wishes that all life were like that.
