The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who doesn't pull his weight is not asked to pull, while the one who does, pulls for two.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I dedicate this to all those who did not live to tell it. And may they please forgive me for not having seen it all nor remembered it all, for not having divined all of it - from The Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If so far we have been unable to see clearly or to reflect the eternal lineaments of truth, is it not because we too are still moving towards some end-because we are still alive?
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
There is eternal simplicity to a solution once it has been discovered!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We do not err because truth is difficult to see. It is visible at a glance. We err because this is more comfortable.
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
The price of cowardice will only be evil. We shall reap courage and victory only when we dare to make sacrifices.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
