But nothing is all black in nature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Only those who decline to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Like a bicycle, like a wheel that, once rolling, is stable only so long as it keeps moving but falls when its momentum stops, so the game between a man and woman, once begun, can exist only so long as it progresses. If the forward movement today is no more than it was yesterday, the game is over.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Anything too far out of tune with our attitude is lost, either in the ears themselves or somewhere beyond, but it is lost.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When the whole discussion of developing a national idea hastily began in post-Soviet Russia, I tried to pour cold water on it with the objection that, after all the devastating losses we had experienced, it would be quite sufficient to have just one task: the preservation of a dying people.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who pulls is the one they urge on.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth seldom is pleasant it is almost invariably bitter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Of course, my views developed in the course of time. But I have always believed in what I did and never acted against my conscience.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you wanted to put the world to rights, who should you begin with: yourself or others?
