More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth must be told-and things must change! If words are not about real things and do not cause things to happen, what is the good of them?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Communists have for decades loudly proclaimed their goal of destroying the bourgeois world, while the West merely smiled at what seemed to be an extravagant joke.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but it is human to be outraged by injustice, even to the point of courting destruction!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A fish does not campaign against fisheries-it only tries to slip through the mesh.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is no point asserting and reasserting what the heart cannot believe.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If a person can build a fence around himself, he is bound to do it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One word of truth outweighs the whole world.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If someone asked you, why not help him out?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nowadays we don't think much of a man's love for an animal we laugh at people who are attached to cats. But if we stop loving animals, aren't we bound to stop loving humans too?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... mutual lack of understanding carries the threat of imminent and violent destruction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... a man can safely sacrifice a great deal as long as he clings to the essential.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
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
Who has the skill to make a narrow, obstinate human being aware of others' far-off grief and joy, to make him understand dimensions and delusions he himself has never lived through? Propaganda, coercion, and scientific proofs are powerless. But happily, in our world there is a way. It is art, and it is literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
