Where is this quote from?
"We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."
I'd really like to read more and understand it's context.

Well, the author is Anton Checkov, but I'm uncertain about which one of his works it is from. Uncle Vanya?

Yes, it's from Uncle Vanya, near the end of the play.
Oh thank you both so much! Quick replies! :D

There seem to be different translations of this line, which is confusing.
The quote I've seen is "We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."
But in the play it reads "We shall rest. We shall hear the angels. We shall see heaven shining like a jewel."
