Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
January 29, 1860
“You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have
taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if,
owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew
on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell
like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth.
I don't want to understand you.”
-from "The Bet"
