The Lady With The Little Dog, Chekhov
Oh, Chekhov.
On of my go-to writing quotes is by Chekhov: "Why not just say what happened?" Or something along those lines.

call it a philosophy of life, if you will. --John Ashbery, "My Philosophy of Life"
it's about first lines of stories and poems that we love
