Asking 'What is life?' is the same as asking 'What is a carrot?' A carrot is a carrot and we know nothing more.

“He would not go to sleep until his father came home. To stay awake the boy would review the faces on the obsolete coins in his collection. In the dark he could name the date and worth by the wear on the face” —David Keplinger, “Further Entries from the Notebook of Anton Chekhov”
from “Further Entries from the Notebook of Anton Chekhov”. From the cloakroom a woman appeared, carrying his false leg. She gave it to the man who had fallen. “We’re just like a puppet theater,” he said, pretending to beat her with the leg. For him, there is a heavy burden to be whole. First, he must become a nothing. A hotel room: he and his lover fast asleep. Is the snow suddenly worse? Is it her husband who bangs on the door? He will have to rise to ask the banging in. The night is cold and he is naked as he carefully lifts the bolt. He would not go to sleep until his father came home. To stay awake the boy would review the faces on the obsolete coins in his collection. In the dark he could name the date and worth by the wear on the face. Other contents of the box he preferred not to touch: the cicada’s white thorax that had flinched for a day, the knife his father gave him. His father had told him to keep the knife: it having belonged to someone who was dead. They are discussing the interior of the apple. The Admiral proclaims it “a darkness and a whiteness at the same time.” The other guests constantly laugh at him. He has spent so many years at sea he can no longer walk without holding onto things. A clairvoyant: “I’m bored with the future. My great love is the past. I’m not sure of anything that’s ever happened.” David Keplinger

Love, friendship, respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something. -- Anton Chekhov

She has been a snake-catching park ranger in Central Australia, an agricultural journalist and an environmental adviser. She lectures in creative writing at La Trobe University. When cupboards crash to the floor, they call Dr Tiffany, not maintenance.

DID YOU KNOW that my TeePublic shop currently contains NO LESS THAN THREE season-appropriate shirts? HOT DAMN. www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...
A purple t-shirt with green hand-lettered text, which reads, "make it weird" A black t-shirt with white hand-lettered text, which reads, "reanimate your darlings" A black t-shirt with red hand-lettered text surrounded by a heart. The text reads, "more teeth"

Also, I’ve noticed the running gag of Chekhov trying to credit Russia with assorted major historical discoveries, which given the era the show was first broadcast had to be a playful jab at America’s real-life rivalry with the USSR.

Picture from Star Trek TOS. You can see Sulu and Chekhov sitting at their stations. In the middle is the big screen, which shows Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair among the stars. Caption reads: "In Star Trek, the Enterprise finds Abraham Lincoln hundreds of light years from Earth, still trying to put more distance between himself and the modern Republican party."

Ensign Chekhov only appeared from season two onwards. Any Slavic redshirt seen in series one, is Ensign Cherenkov who has traveled faster than the speed of light, and thus backwards in time.

@18107@aussie.zone Cherenkov’s gun is when a gun fires a bullet through a medium faster than the speed of light in that medium. Chekhov’s gun is when a gun is discovered in act one, and kills someone by act three.

Ik ga niet pretenderen daar een sluitend antwoord op te hebben ☺️ Mijn punt was dat iets van pacifisme - niet als totaalvisie maar als waarde of principe - nodig is om de balans van zo'n gewapende vrede te behouden tov escalatie. Je weet wat Chekhov zei over een pistool in de eerste scene!

Al Pacino — the Kid (with his Father).

He had a rough old start did Al, but William Wyler and Anton Chekhov showed him a way out and boy did he take that way out.
