Additional quotes by Anton Chekhov

أما بالنسبة لي فأنا لا أستطيع فهم نفسي أبدا.. أجدني دائما ممزقا بين اليأس المظلم و عدم الاكتراث التام.. أنا خجول لا ثقة لي بنفسي .. ضميري جبان.. و أنا عاجز تماما عن التكيف مع الحياة لأصبح سيد مصيري.. الرجال الآخرون يقولون كلاما فارغا أو يخدع كلا منهم الآخر و يجدون متعة في ذلك.. في حين لا أجدني إلا مضطرا أو غير مكترث.. حتى و أنا أحاول فعل الخير!
