- 1892, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “Глава II”, in Палата № 6; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Ward No. 6, 1921:
- В свои́х сужде́ниях о лю́дях он клал густы́е кра́ски, то́лько бе́лую и чёрную, не признава́я никаки́х отте́нков; челове́чество дели́лось у него́ на че́стных и подлецо́в; середи́ны же не бы́ло.
- V svoíx suždénijax o ljúdjax on klal gustýje kráski, tólʹko béluju i čórnuju, ne priznavája nikakíx otténkov; čelovéčestvo delílosʹ u nevó na čéstnyx i podlecóv; seredíny že ne býlo.
- In his criticisms of people he laid on the colours thick, using only black and white, and no fine shades; mankind was divided for him into honest men and scoundrels: there was nothing in between.
