Strangely Haunting

The text printed on a student's pencil case that I noticed today:

"He got married, bought a house, furnished it, and bought a writing desk and stationery, but found he had nothing to write."

  2. I have the same! Bought it recently and was googling the quote which got me here...I think it's from Anton Chekhov's play

  3. I saw the pencil case today. It spoke to me. I was just also googling the quote.

  4. Apparently you can buy that pencil case at Ito Yokado in Japan. I also saw a student of mine with it today. She had no idea what it was about.
