More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Oh, how hard it is to part with power! This one has to understand.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one good thing about repeating your mistakes is that you know when to cringe
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology. The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion. This is one point.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every man always has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A drop in the ocean has no fear of a hurricane.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A human being is all hope and impatience.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have ourselves to save.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
During my time in the camps, I had got to know the enemies of the human race quite well: they respect the big fist and nothing else the harder you slug them, the safer you will be.
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
Human nature is full of riddles and contradictions its very complexity engenders art-and by art I mean the search for something more than simple linear formulations, flat solutions, oversimplified explanations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If it goes well with you, then all is well.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
