From Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Tom Stoppard translation.
Isn't that a great quote? I really like it. It had been MANY years since I'd read The Cherry Orchard, but this edition had worked its way to the top of one of my To Read stacks and so I said oh why not. It's a funny, sad little story, with characters who feel very real. The production was directed by Sam Mendes in 2009, and the cast included Simon Russell Beale, Richard Easton, and Ethan Hawke. The NY Times review is here (they liked it, for the most part).
Weather is heating up here, ugh. So worn out from yesterday's fun times.
