You start out with modest opinions, but they match and build each other up to a scale.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We will die, but art will remain.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Once the fight is on-strike quickly and often.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth seldom is pleasant it is almost invariably bitter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prayers are like those appeals of ours. Either they don't get through or they're returned with 'rejected' scrawled across 'em.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
