More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Many of you have already found out, and others will find out in the course of their lives, that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate our attention totally on it's pursuit. But even while it eludes us, the illusion of knowing it still lingers and leads to many misunderstandings. Also, truth seldom is pleasant it is almost invariably bitter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Thus, literature, together with language, preserves and protects a nation's soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
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
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

We never know beforehand how new posts or new work will change us.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We hear a constant clamor for rights, rights, always rights, but so very little about responsibility. And we have forgotten God. The need now is for selflessness, for a spirit of sacrifice, for a willingness to put aside personal gains for the salvation of the whole Western world.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we live in a state of constant fear, can we remain human?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Sometimes I feel quite distinctly that what is inside me is not all of me. There is something else, sublime, quite indestructible, some tiny fragment of the Universal spirit.Don't you feel that?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society . . . loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I leaf through the ancient philosophers and find my newest discoveries there.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... some kind of clean, pure feeling does live within us, existing apart from all our convictions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
