The sun is shining so nicely over the dirty earth, there is such a smell of spring in the air that I am too lazy and have no strength to sit in the room, but for me - woe is me! - up to my neck in work: exams, daily bread...

Quote Explanation: Anton Chekhov, from a letter to Alexander Kanaev, 1883.

Baking pancakes is an exclusively female affair... Chefs should have long ago understood that this is not a simple pouring of batter over hot frying pans, but a sacred rite, a whole complex system with its own beliefs, traditions, language, prejudices, joys, sufferings... Yes, suffering... If Nekrasov said that the Russian woman suffered, then pancakes are partly to blame...

Spring has already begun, and all the birds, forgetting all decency, satisfy their natural needs and thus turn my garden and my forests into houses of brothel.
