Anton Chekhov Quotes
Between 'there is a God' and 'there is no God' lies a whole vast tract, which the really wise man crosses with great effort. A Russian knows one or other of these two extremes, and the middle tract between them does not interest him; and therefore he usually knows nothing, or very little. (Diary, 1897)

May a merciful God preserve me from a Christian Church in which everyone is a saint!
