Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
People can live through hardship, but from hard feelings they perish.
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
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
You get no thanks from your belly-it always forgets what you've just done for it and comes begging again the next day.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Bless you, prison, for having been in my life!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Good or evil-you cannot build your life apart from this distinction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
