"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out"
- Anton Chekhov
About this Quote
This quote by Anton Chekhov talks to the concept that it is the ordinary, everyday tasks of life that can be the most draining pipes. It is simple to face a crisis, as it is a particular event that needs a specific action. Nevertheless, it is the daily living that can be the most exhausting. This might be anything from the day-to-day grind of work, to the relatively perpetual tasks of keeping a home. It is the little, apparently irrelevant tasks that can build up and become frustrating. Chekhov's quote is a pointer to take an action back and value the small minutes in life, as it is these minutes that can make up the majority of our lives.
