When one longs for a drink, it seems as though one could drink a whole ocean - that is faith; but when one begins to drink, one can only drink altogether two glasses - that is science. - Anton Chekhov Quotes

When one longs for a drink, it seems as though one could drink a whole ocean – that is faith; but when one begins to drink, one can only drink altogether two glasses – that is science.[Когда хочется пить, то кажется, что выпьешь целое море – это вера; а когда станешь пить,. то выпьешь всего стакана два – это наука.]
