"Expunge from yourself anything which interferes with your feeling of a special connection between yourself and all living creatures." Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi [1828-1910], as cited for March 10 in Peter Serkin, 1997 (Translator), A Calendar Of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts To Nourish The Soul Written And Selected From The World's Sacred Texts By Leo Tolstoy (Scribner), page 82.

"Chekhov: Take 2" -- "Four Jokes + One Funeral", 1904 Anton's death (new one-act): last day, last hour. Six years since I directed "The Three Sisters" (why now and why the farces?)
Annensky about Chekhov (in Russian, the summer read), I envy the style -- very personal, almost if he himself wrote the play, as if he knows them, Masha, Olga, Irina... The secondary characters became the heroes, the jerks, the types from the comedies -- and we got the tragedy, Beckett only finished this journey... Now -- The American mini-Chekhov!
