More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Our envy of others devours us most of all.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The revolution is an amalgam of former Party functionaries, quasi- democrats, KGB officers, and black-market wheeler-dealers, who are standing in power now and have represented a dirty hybrid unseen in world history
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It takes a fool to rush off to war!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Each person has his special moment of life when he unfolded himself to the fullest, felt to the deepest, and expressed himself to the utmost, to himself and to others.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A whole week, a single campaign, a month, a week, even a day was far more than enough to cut a company or platoon to ribbons or cripple a man for life: it needed only a quarter of an hour.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Happiness doesn't depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we could all take a sober look at our history, then we would no longer see this nostalgic attitude to the Soviet past that predominates among the less affected part of our society.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We didn't love freedom enough.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One word of truth outweighs the whole world.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Still, everybody wants to eat.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...it's only on a black day that you begin to have friends.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Communism will never be halted by negotiations or through the machinations of detente. It can only be halted by force from without or by disintegration from within.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We will die, but art will remain.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If I were called upon to identify briefly the principal trait of the entire 20th century... I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat once again: Men have forgotten God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One world, one mankind cannot exist in the face of six, four or even two scales of values: We shall be torn apart by this disparity of rhythm, this disparity of vibrations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A forest doesn't weep over one tree.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
