Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
How can you expect a man who's warm to understand one who's cold?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human beings are better and lazier than their rules and instructions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who will dare say he has defined art?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As the fathers live, so the children play.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
